Female Founders Pitch Night 2024

Join us to celebrate female founders in Western Australia!

We Are Emersyn and Entrepreneurs in Residence invite you to an exciting evening showcasing eight exceptional women-led ventures who will pitch to a live audience of industry experts, supporters, and members of the broader entrepreneurial community.

This isn't your typical pitch event—it's about building community, fostering connections, and celebrating the incredible innovation driven by women in our ecosystem.

What you can expect:

• Exceptional presentations by eight women presenting a diverse range of business ventures
• Opening Remarks by Jodi Cant, Deputy General, Department of Finance
• Live Feedback from an expert judging panel, featuring: 
  • Isis Nair - Angel Investor & Ex-Googler
  • Marlon Juenemann, Director of Ubuntu Ventures
  • Dr. Genevieve Hohnen, Co-founder of The Volte

Prizes

Prizes will be awarded to the top two pitches:

Judge’s Choice:

Selected by the judges, this winning pitch will receive a business package worth over $6,000, including $2,000 cash, business mentoring and advisory services, media coverage package from Broun Communications, subsidised fees and tickets to key industry events.

People's Choice:

Valued at over $3,000, this package will be awarded to the pitch with the most audience votes. It includes six months of mentoring by eir, media coverage package from Broun Communications and an IP HealthCheck courtesy of Wrays, plus more!

The goal of this event extends beyond addressing the funding gap; female founders often lack access to the resources, contacts, and networks crucial for business growth. 

This event is designed to tackle those challenges by connecting founders with business leaders, funders, and supporters eager to provide these essential resources.
