Land your dream job

This is what it’s all about. We’re your backdoor entry into startup land, and being a Women Fellow gives you the stamp of approval. We’ll help you figure out how to translate your existing skillset into a role at a startup and then give you the coaching and intros you need to close the deal.

Startups, demystified

Gain a technical understanding of startups; stages, industries, roles, salaries, jargon, and how to negotiate like a boss. After 8 weeks of the Fellowship, you’ll be talking the language like a pro.

Community, community, community

Meet the people who will be your mentors, inspiration and friends as you make this leap into the startup ecosystem - not to mention a warm intro at almost any startup in ANZ. This powerful network will raise your ambitions and back you every step of the way.
