Join Our 'Fund Female Founders' Investment Showcase - 11 March 2025!

Funding is one of the most significant hurdles women face when scaling their businesses. And with your support, we're changing that.

We’ve helped 9 women-led companies successfully raise just under $700k across our two previous events, with a 75% success rate of those that launched. We want to do it again for International Women’s Day this year.

The teams behind Ministry of Awesome and PledgeMe have joined forces again to launch a group of women-led crowdfunding campaigns on Tuesday, 11 March, and we invite you to join us live as we celebrate, support, and fund these remarkable women.

How’s it going to work?

This is an online event where we'll be unveiling and celebrating some exceptional campaigns throughout the hour, ranging from investment rounds to rewards-based crowdfunding*.

By registering for this event, you will be in the “room” with these inspiring women, hearing their stories, getting your questions answered, and learning a bit as well.

Check out some of the previous campaigns:
