Flying Fox Ventures are proud to be launching our inaugural pre-accelerator program focused on female founders in Victoria. 

 

We’re on a mission to:

  • Increase the number of female founders launching companies in Australia

  • Increase the quality of female founded businesses to ultimately:

  • Increase the number of deals into female founded businesses and increase the quantum of capital raised by female founders

Why?

Because while 38% of our capital is behind female founders currently, we recognize that female founders face unique challenges and barriers in accessing funding and resources. By establishing a program specifically tailored to support and uplift women entrepreneurs, we aim to level the playing field, nurture talent, and unlock the untapped potential of female-led startups. 

What?

Give us one evening a week, for 1 quarter, and we’ll get help you catalyse your journey to starting a company.  We’ll get you in a small, tight-knit cohort of other like-minded, crazy-ambitious founders to take your idea from a shower thought to VC pitch-ready polish.

 

Together we’ll be tackling topics like: 

The Founder Mindset, Problem Validation, Customer Research, Customer Driven Product Design, Building an MVP, Testing an MVP, Choosing a business model, KPIs and metrics, First key hires, Go to market strategy, Fundraising, Pitching, Term sheets & Legals

 

We’ll also give you 6 months of mentoring once the 12 week program is over.

Who are you?

  • Female identified

  • Based in Victoria, Australia

  • Have a killer idea but haven’t yet launched your company / built a product

  • Hungry and ambitious

  • Looking to benefit from and contribute to a vibrant community of like-minded founders

How much?

The program is 100% free for participants, thanks to the generous and substantial support from LaunchVic. That said, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.  

 

Here’s what all participants need to commit to:

 

  • 1 x 2 hr session per week for 12 weeks (from 6 August to 12 November; if you’re going to miss 1, that’s ok.  Everything will be recorded.  If you anticipate missing more than 2 sessions, this might not be right for you, right now)

  • 1 x 1 hour per week of pre-reading / homework

  • A positive attitude, generosity of spirit, a willingness to get uncomfortable, and openness to try new things!

We are currently running a cohort and not accepting applications but feel free to fill out the form to get notified about the next one.
