We've found that 52% of companies in our industry database have female founders, compared to the 22-34% typically reported. Is this rise in female founders a #DigitalHealth thing? Or are we observing a changing of the guard in health technology? Tickets: https://t.co/0EjLTJB5Uo

Victoria is 💯 the place to be as an innovator: gov commitment (@JaalaPulford), successful founders & innovators wanting to give back (eg. @morris_kate @freshjc), a strong ecosystem of founders supporting each other to scale up (eg. @SeerMedical @PearliiApp) ❤️🎉

[Rachel Yang @RachelYang_]

@napper @olympiayarger @GoterraCBR 😂 it’s a rollercoaster of emotions. Goes something like this - ooo a message from @olympiayarger - usually hilarious - but what’s this? 🤔 is that what I think it is? But it’s so furry & sloppy it can’t be 😮 🤢 but I’m so glad it’s not going to landfill thanks to the🐛❤️♻️ =🎢

Here is our @GiantLeapVC Portfolio Impact Highlights for FY21 which outlines how we think about impact and provides examples of the metrics we use: https://t.co/0G0paCnuJM

[Impact X @impactxtech]

“If you start with the ESG metric it can be counterintuitive. Start with your theory of change, start with your north star, and then suggest some metrics which might indicate progress. See our website for examples” - @RachelYang_ #IXSummitSydney #AccelerateZero

[Rachel Yang @RachelYang_]

❤️👏🏼🌱🙋🏻‍♀️

[Impact X @impactxtech]

That feeling when the entire panel realises everyone on the panel is either an early investor, a customer (or both) of Aussie energy provider startup @AmberElectricAU 😀 #IXSummitSydney #AccelerateZero
