Only 2.2% of venture capital funds are awarded to women-led ventures: leading business mums networking group Mums & Co is on a mission to change this.
Mums & Co's recent business survey revealed key areas Australian businesses needed help with were: money management and financial matters, marketing their business (on a shoestring budget), and setting up businesses correctly to succeed. The Mums & Co MPowered Conference was created specifically to fill the gap in knowledge.
The day-long conference focuses on these three areas, with keynote speakers, business panels, business skills workshop on hand to provide advice and proven success stories. It will also provide opportunity for essential business connections and networking. A highlight event on the day is the MPowered Pitch Competition Finals – where four women-led businesses will pitch for an over $35,000 prize pool – and the audience can see first-hand what it takes for investors to want to invest in your business.
Keynote speakers and industry experts include:
Alexandra Sloane, Head of Marketing, Facebook ANZ
Magda Griffiths, Senior Product Manager, Ebay (Gumtree)
Rachel Tonkin, Investment Director, AMB Capital
Kevin O'Hara, Group CIO, Tulla Private Equity
Jeremy Liddle, Co-Founder, Capital Pitch
