@SmartCompany @getupcover @HelloCaia Proud to be help get the story of thousands of female founders that are left out of the incredibly well intentioned but totally inadequately built criteria for the Boosting Female Founders Grant.

@Quackslikeaduq @abcnews How can they afford to stay if they've lost their job? Which believe me, I've spent hundreds of hours interviewing these students - they need to work to survive here as its so bloody expensive.

[Skye Theodorou @theod_skye]

@abcnews So international students contribute almost 3% to our national GDP and pay $31.9 billion in fees each year, but we'll keep their money, let them lose their casual jobs, not give them any fee deferment support and they can head home when their borders are closed?

#boostingfemalefounders grant gives $18m to 🚺 founders. 👏👏👏wait... it requires 50% equity?! What a fail. That cuts 80% of 🇦🇺💃🏽 startups. What’s worse? @karenandrewsmp won’t revise this till 2021. Sorry Karen, we can’t wait. Sign to change! 👉🏽 https://t.co/hz46xHvn6l 1/3

[Skye Theodorou @theod_skye]

What @karenandrewsmp decision means is although I’m the 💃🏽 in the female led @getupcover because of my ability to rise above the many obstacles of building a startup to✔️ secure an amazing cofounder, @anish_sinha ✔️ get investment @AntlerGlobal I’m out. Too bad too sad. 3/3

[Skye Theodorou @theod_skye]

Why 50%? I have nfi. The average shareholding of a female founded startup isn’t that. Mines is 45% rk. That doesn’t include my awesome Angel investors who have backed us on a SAFE. After seed I’m expecting it to reduce further, that’s if we can build & grow through COVID-19🤧 2/3

[Skye Theodorou @theod_skye]

This morning I had a pinch myself moment, as @anish_sinha and I had the pleasure of meeting the inspiring founder of @EusohPR, @AllenKamrava. We loved having an open chat with you about @getupcover’s business model and your product innovation in the insurance. 💯🚀

[Skye Theodorou @theod_skye]

@robgalb Buying your book now @robgalb. That title 💪 It’s absolutely what we’re thinking of everyday down in Oz for the changing workforce @getupcover @anish_sinha
