โ€‹๐Ÿ”ฅ Raising Hell (and Capital)

โ€‹The Raw Reality of Fundraising as a Female Founder
Panel + Founder Think Tank


โ€‹๐Ÿ’ฅ About the Event

โ€‹Let's get real about the state of startup funding in Victoria. But more specifically, for female founders.

โ€‹According to Cut through Venture, less than 0.5% of total funding went to female-only founding teams. Only 11 deals involved a woman founder at all. Strip out Airwallex, and just $29M flowed to mixed-gender teams

This event is for the underfunded, the overlooked, the underestimated. AND the Allies!

โ€‹This is a closed-door download from women whoโ€™ve raised from VCs & investors, navigated bias, negotiated power plays, and learnt a thing or two along the way.

โ€‹Youโ€™ve seen the funding announcements.
Now hear the stories they didnโ€™t tell.

โ€‹Welcome to Raising Hell (and Capital) โ€” a panel and think tank where no topic is off-limits, and no founder is alone.

โ€‹Speakers:

  1. โ€‹โ€‹Nikki Tugano | Founder and CEO of SeenCulture. Nikki has raised $1M in funding and has been recognised as Australiaโ€™s most influential CEO for DEI.

  2. โ€‹Nikki Brown | co-founder and CEO of Cartesian, which helps SaaS companies to drive growth through partnerships and AI collaboration. Before Cartesian, Nikki led GTM for data startups in London and New York.ย 


โ€‹๐Ÿง  What to Expect:

  • โ€‹Real stories of overcoming hardship, term sheet drama, investor red flags, and unexpected wins.

  • โ€‹Which investors/VCs are walking the walk and who is not... (not just talking about it).

  • โ€‹Tactical advice on staying in control of your raise (and your voice)

  • โ€‹Live Q&A from women who have raised & are currently raising in Australia & other markets.

  • โ€‹Yummy food and drinks provided thanks to โ€‹Esignatures.


โ€‹๐Ÿ‘€ Who Itโ€™s For:

  • โ€‹Women & non-binary founders raising, planning to raise, or recovering from a raise

  • โ€‹Early-stage operators & builders curious about whatโ€™s ahead

  • โ€‹Allies, investors & ecosystem builders who want to listen and learn.
