Female Founder Frontiers: From Ideas to Impact 

Ready to turn your idea or side hustle into a thriving venture? Join us for an immersive one‑day workshop, created in collaboration with The Startup Network, for La Trobe University female students, alumni, staff, and community members with entrepreneurial ambitions.

Only 70 spots available!

Throughout the day, you’ll take part in interactive sessions led by accomplished founders, startup experts, industry partners, and La Trobe program alumni. You’ll walk away with practical skills, meaningful connections, valuable resources, and the confidence to take the next step in your entrepreneurial journey.

• Explore how to overcome impostor syndrome through shared experiences and real founder stories
• Learn how to assess whether your idea is a scalable startup, a lifestyle business or a side project – and why clarity matters
• Get a grounded breakdown of funding pathways, including bootstrapping, grants, angels and VC, with insights into what early‑stage investors look for
• Understand how to build defensibility in an AI‑driven world and communicate your competitive edge with confidence
• Discover how to find the right co‑founders, mentors and support networks – and how to approach them effectively
• Hear candid stories of pivots, setbacks and lessons learned in a “fail‑forward” session designed to normalise the messy middle.
