All-female founding teams received only 4% of investment capital, despite achieving superior impact.
The ‘Get Set for Impact’ Program is here to help change that.
The Program empowers innovative, purpose-driven female entrepreneurs to secure the investment they require to accelerate their businesses by showcasing and validating their social and environmental impact with real-world data.
By establishing a system to capture and showcase your data, the program and tools will support you in demonstrating your impact clearly to investors, customers, employees, and other stakeholders.
Get Set for Impact
The Get Set for Impact Program is your step-by-step accompaniment to gaining the knowledge, skills, and tools you need to identify, measure, manage, and report your impact, all with a focus on leveraging impact investment and more.
In small cohorts of six, you'll work directly with us to apply these concepts to your business, map your Theory of Change, and develop and implement a personalised evidence collection strategy and online impact dashboard.
The program concludes with a showcase event with Queensland’s top impact investors, giving you valuable exposure and ensuring your approach is fit-for-purpose.
