I’ve engaged with other organisations, more like light mentorship, and there is nothing like the expertise. You cut through and gave me exactly what I needed.

Such totally honest feedback that I fell in love with the lot of you … Even though you were scary as hell :)
OUR WORK WITH INVESTORS
Work with us to ensure women growing big business get the needed financial capital.
Aligned with our mission, we work with investors to amplify diversity in their portfolio through active and engaged deal flow.
The Advisory works with investor portfolio companies to unlock the next stage of growth through a collaborative cohort or individualised approach.
THE SBE AUSTRALIA FOUNDATION
The Advisory and The Founders Fund supports the development of early stage companies via our ongoing involvement with SBE Australia. The SBE Australia foundation works to change cultural and structural norms that have traditionally prevented the growth of women-led entrepreneurial businesses.
A portion of our proceeds from the work we do in both the Advisory and the Founders Fund will continue to contribute to SBE Australia and other organisations working to removes barriers to growth.

ABOUT US
Building on over 10 years experience working with women founders via SBE Australia, this next generation organisation is on a serious mission to change the landscape for women entrepreneurs in the Pacific region over the next decade.
Through advocacy, advisory and funding we aim to continue to amplify while multiplying the number of brave women leading high-growth entrepreneurial ventures, creating economic outcomes for Australia and beyond.
In doing so, we aim to amplify the success of women leading big entrepreneurial businesses in ANZ by 2030, adding billions to GDP, creating thousands of well-paid jobs and bringing important innovations to market, ultimately moving the innovation index forward in our part of the world.
All of us have built and scaled large businesses. Some have had successful exits and gone on to become investors. Others have been multiple time entrepreneurs. We have all “been there, built that”.
