Startup Women of the Year Competition 2023

When

Thursday 23 November from 6pm to 8pm

Too often, traditional pitch events favour a specific performative mould. However, we recognise that innovation isn't limited to those with a flair for extroversion or stage presence. Many brilliant minds excel in problem-solving, tech, and customer experience, yet are overshadowed by the conventional pitch format.

Our competition is the game-changer. It's the ultimate anti-pitch, designed to focus on what truly matters: the essence of startups, which is to address and solve significant global challenges. This competition redefines what is conventional and is dedicated to celebrating and uplifting women-led businesses in Australia. With a keen focus on the tech, e-comm, and startup sectors, our mission is to shine a spotlight on the incredible achievements of Australia's emerging women entrepreneurs and accelerate their journey towards success.
