AccelerateHER Workshop | Melbourne | 2024

Got a business or entrepreneurial idea you’ve always wanted to bring to life?

The AccelerateHER workshop is here to help. The Accelerator for Enterprising Women has partnered with The Startup Network to bring you a full day of masterclasses, led by an experienced team who have done it all before. The Startup Network is Australia's largest startup community, supporting founders with education, events and community throughout Australia. We are a thriving community of founders, investors, and startup teams, who connect both in person at our events and online in our community platforms. At The Startup Network we are passionate about supporting underrepresented founders by removing borders and boundaries, ensuring everyone has access to the education they need to create a successful startup.

The day will be led by incredible female entrepreneur Vicki Stirling. Vicki is a passionate and authentic promotor of women in startups; be they founders, leaders or future CEOs. Vicki loves to encourage everyone to step into their power and lead with a deeply authentic style that is uniquely theirs. Throughout her career Vicki has been involved in startups, from early stage ideation through to IPO. This provided her with a unique and rare insight into what it takes to experience true hockey stick growth.

Vicki is currently the CEO of The Startup Network, she cares deeply about supporting a diverse and often underrepresented community of founders. The Startup Network Equips founders with the tools they need to navigate founder life, and connects them to a supportive community.

Over the course of the day, you’ll get to dive right in and put pen to paper - in the area (or areas!) you need the most support. Our experienced facilitators will point you in the right direction with practical tools and advice. The day will cover:

• Defining and validating your unique selling proposition
• Financial modelling
• Go to market strategy
• Understanding target audiences
• Pitch preparation
• Plus everything you need to enter the Kickstarter Challenge for your chance to share in $60,000 in equity-free funding.

We’ll also make sure you have plenty of opportunity to connect with those in the room so you can build your local tribe - for support, accountability, and maybe even some unexpected collabs.
