The best part of any great event? The people in the room!

Our GM Renate Crollini attended FundFindrs' Light Up Innovation event and it was a standout evening! Reconnecting with the Jessica Montgomery, Sarah Macaulay and Keriana King from the Scalare Partners team, meeting brilliant founders, and sharing a few conversations that will stick around long after the night wrapped up.

One highlight was catching up with Stacey Edmonds MAICD — recently featured in Westpac's business magazine — a great example of the calibre of people FundFindrs brings together!

Big thanks to FundFindrs for a truly special evening 🙌

There's a difference between scrolling through someone else's highlight reel and actually learning from their journey.

One steals your energy. The other multiplies it.

There's a reason the best founders are obsessed with other people's case studies, failures, and pivots — not to measure themselves against them, but to compress their own learning curve.
At Tech Ready Women, that's exactly what our community is built on. Real stories. Real numbers. Real lessons from women who've been in the trenches.

What's one thing you've learned from another founder's story that changed how you operate?

We’re so excited to see our partner Westpac launch their first Female Founder Awards, a national awards program recognising the remarkable women building businesses across Australia.

Whether you're in the early stages of your startup journey or scaling something you've been building for years, there are categories designed for different stages.

We’d love to see the brilliant women in our community submit an application – you can learn more here: Westpac Female Founder Awards.

The prize pool is $200,000, including grants, mentoring and leadership development. And you don't have to be a Westpac customer to enter!

One finalist will be named overall Founder of the Year, alongside three national category winners:

Trailblazer – for businesses under three years old that are already shaking up their industry with a new idea, product or model
Thrive – for businesses three years or older that have shown steady growth and built something with lasting commercial impact
Greater Good – for businesses and social enterprises creating meaningful, sustainable impact in their communities

Each category winner receives a $10,000 cash prize.

Founder of the Year – awarded to a standout founder recognised for their impact, growth or ability to inspire others. This includes $30,000 cash plus a one-month national advertising campaign for their business

If you're building a business, or know someone who is, take a look and consider putting yourself forward. Applications close 30 June.

Our very own Renate Crollini had the pleasure chatting with Lisa Hollinshead at the Sunrise Festival about the real journey female founders face.

We explored the importance of validating your idea, founder mindset, and how programs like ours help women test their ideas before spending hundreds of thousands on the wrong thing.

Thanks for the thoughtful conversation and for featuring Tech Ready Women in the Social 101 Startup Spotlight series!

If you feel like an imposter, it often just means you care about getting it right.

The founder who questions every decision, stress-tests assumptions, and wonders if they’re good enough is usually someone paying close attention to outcomes.

Self-doubt isn’t disqualifying—it’s part of the process. The key is not letting it stall you, but using it to sharpen your thinking and improve what you build.

What actually moves the needle for founders? "When you actually get in a room with entrepreneurs who have been there, done that, built, exited, closed down businesses, they're very real and raw conversations about what they would have done differently with their Constitutional, their shareholders agreement or their ESOP plans or how they would have constructed their sales deal differently." - Katherine Maree Pace, Tech Ready Women alumni.

The expensive lessons are already mapped. You just need access to the people who've learned them.
→ The ESOP structure that created downstream problems
→ The CFO they should have hired years earlier
→ The deal terms they're still unwinding

"Different type of maybe CTO or CPO or CFO earlier on. Those kinds of very real conversations are super, super beneficial for the women who are looking to raise capital and scale their companies."

Investment Ready creates these exact rooms.
Women founders preparing to raise or scale—this is where you get the conversations that matter.
