The government is now extending the program to include a Female Founder Connect Pilot, a structured networking course aimed at helping female founders connect with networks, programs, customers, mentors, grants and funding. Skills and Training Minister Alister Henskens said the initiative would pay off for the economy more broadly.“We know the wealth of capabilities and creativity that women bring to business, which can generate new jobs and accelerate NSW’s economic growth,” he said.
She participated in the course from her base in northern NSW over the eight weeks before flying to Sydney for a final, invitational component where she pitched her business to a panel of investors, accelerator representatives, and NSW government representatives including Mr Henskens at Sydney’s Startup Hub.
“Even now people look back at [the original funding round] and they are horrified by the amount of equity we gave away. But now from the Female Founders Program, we’ve had interest from investors who have different ideas about structuring,” she said. “It often came down to a discussion of whether I’d be having more children and things like that which shouldn’t be questions,” Ms Morton said of her first-round funding.

Former High Court justice Virginia Bell to lead Morrison inquiryAttorney-General Mark Dreyfus says the 'very eminent” former High Court justice Virginia Bell will be leading the inquiry into former prime minister Scott Morrison’s secret ministerial portfolios. “She will be able to get to the bottom of what occurred,” Mr Dreyfus said during a media conference on Friday. He said Ms Bell will consult with everyone who 'has something to say' about the matter and hear from members of the Australian community before making 'concrete recommendations' to the government. Lovely. Scumo & Co are seething that this will be led by a woman ALP cronies making big coin on a personal vendetta. Great use of my taxes. 👍 Surely you conservatives would be encouraged to know that the government is pursuing open and accountable government as a default position? Or are you throwing your toys out of the cot again?
