Meet Your Summit Host
Gelaine & the team at Founding Possibilities
Hey hey! I'm Gelaine Santiago (she/her). It's pronounced Elaine with a G :)
I’m an award-winning social entrepreneur, speaker, and human-centred growth strategist for justice-driven BIPOC founders. For the past 10 years, I’ve been working at the intersection of entrepreneurship, social justice, and cultural identity.
Previously, I co-founded Cambio & Co. Filipino Jewelry and Sinta & Co. Filipino Weddings, two mission-driven e-commerce brands partnering with artisans in the Philippines. My co-founder and I bootstrapped both into multiple six-figure companies serving customers in 21 countries, created over $1M worth of livelihood for Filipino artisans, and did it primarily through organic and community-led marketing.
Today I’m the Founder and CEO of Founding Possibilities—a growth partner and education studio that helps racialized entrepreneurs scale their online B2C businesses to six figures and beyond, while creating revolutionary wealth for their communities. I’m so excited you’re here!

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The seed of Founding Possibilities was first planted in Tkarón:tó, known as the “Dish with One Spoon” territory, a treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Haudenosaunee to share and care for the land. For thousands of years, it has also been the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and is now home to many First Nation, Inuit and Métis communities.
Today, our community extends globally across oceans. We share with you this statement in solidarity with all displaced people as we hold each other in the complexity of diaspora experience. And we claim our responsibility to work in solidarity with Indigenous Peoples and across racial lines in the struggle for our collective liberation.
