Drawbridge, the lead generation platform that’s modernizing how brands engage audiences, is proud to announce our Founder & CEO, Janna Shea, is part of the Top 10 co-founders for the 2026 DMZ Women Innovation Summit.
This prestigious recognition places Drawbridge among the most promising women-led tech startups in North America. The DMZ Women Innovation Summit highlights founders who are scaling high-growth companies and driving significant technical shifts within their industries.
"Being named to the DMZ Top 10 is an immense honor and further emphasizes our mission to help brands grow and gather market insights in engaging ways," said Shea. "We built Drawbridge to provide marketers with relief. Launching a campaign should be as easy as creating a social post; and the brand experience has to be seamless, from the first click to the final purchase."
The selection process screened companies from across Canada and this appointment follows a period of rapid growth for Drawbridge. The team recently won Co.Labs’ Co.Launch Finale and was a finalist in TNT’s investor summit 2025.
By flattening the marketing funnel, Drawbridge allows DTC brands, influencers, and creative agencies to turn passive followers into engaged sales leads to help build audiences, gather market insights, and drive sales.

About Drawbridge:
Drawbridge was built by agency veterans who recognized that modern challenges and rising costs are making it more difficult for brands to grow and engage audiences. Our mission is simple: make audience growth effortless, authentic, and measurable. While the industry average for campaign conversion lingers at 30%, Drawbridge campaigns consistently average 60%+. The platform achieves this by replacing static lead capture with immersive, video-powered landing pages that mirror the familiar UI of social stories.
