Female Founders Showcase

Meet women building real startups, hear a deep tech CEO's keynote, and leave with connections who actually get the founder journey.

Michele Stansfield, CEO of deep tech biotech startup Cauldron, keynotes this networking evening spotlighting women-led ventures across the Australian ecosystem. You'll move between startup booths to talk directly with founders, hear lightning pitches from early-stage teams, and connect with other people genuinely invested in supporting women in tech. The format is designed for real conversation rather than passive listening, so you'll actually leave with contacts and a sense of who's building what right now. This works whether you're a founder looking for peers, an investor scouting opportunities, or someone in the ecosystem who wants to see the landscape shift.
