Australia's Most Unstoppable Founder Competition Showcase
Welcome to the Showcase of Australia's Most Unstoppable Founder Competition.
Research shows that investors make 70-80% of their funding decisions based on the founder, not the business plan. Yet when it comes to advocating for ourselves – telling the story of why WE are the right person to build our businesses – women founders consistently struggle.
One Roof and March Collective are excited to bring this national showcase event to Sydney as we highlight some of Australia's Most Unstoppable Female Founder.
