Partnering with the Ministry of Awesome, this conference aims to encourage more ambitious Kiwi women to take the leap into startups, by showcasing women founders and operators at different stages of their journey with tales of courage and triumph.

The conference will involve keynotes and masterclasses led by mavens of the tech industry including Sharesies’ Brooke Roberts, Yabble’s Kathryn Topp, Outset DeepTech’s Imche Fourie, and Theresa Gattung, NZ Lead for SheEO, and Chair of Women in Entrepreneurship at the University of Auckland Business School. Together they will share personal stories, showcase vulnerability during challenging times and roadmap future woman entrepreneurs’ success. See the full list of speakers here.

The event is being backed by some of New Zealand’s most important organisations for the startup and innovation ecosystem, including MBIE, Callaghan Innovation, New Zealand Growth Capital Partners, and AWS.

Join the community of the brightest Kiwis in startup and be inspired by Aotearoa’s most magnetic women founders.
