About this Event
Join us on Thursday 27 June to celebrate the next generation of incredible women entrepreneurs at the UNSW Founders New Wave Showcase event. You won't want to miss this opportunity to hear from the top teams as they present their innovative ideas for their chance to win a share of the $15,000 cash prize pool!
UNSW Founders New Wave addresses the gender-gap in entrepreneurship by providing aspiring female founders with the right resources, networks and funding. In fact, we are proud to say that on average, 44% of the startups we support(coach) have a female founder, more than double the industry average.
This isn’t just about supporting women; it's about enriching our understanding and contributing to a more balanced, dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem.
