Women in Tech Event: Wednesday, 6 April 2016 @ 6.00pm
Female founders and CEOs in Australia’s startup scene are increasingly common. The entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation of women in this space is still overshadowed by the 76% of male-founded startups. At LegalVision, we understand the challenges women encounter when starting and growing their own startup. We know because we have spent years helping clients facing these issues. Our speakers will share with you their successes, failures and advice on how to plan, execute and scale your business. Moderated by LegalVision’s co-founder and General Counsel, Ursula Hogben, we encourage you to come and ask your questions about the legal, financial and business side of running a startup.
