Are you an aspiring female startup founder? Come and join like-minded people like yourself and receive guidance on how to take your first steps? You don't need to have a background in tech or startups to participate, just an enthusiasm to try this out.

Come along and help create the jobs, exports, investment and prosperity that great Australian startups can provide.

Each participating company will provide a clear explanation at the beginning of the hackathon of the problem/idea/feature that they want fixed/built. Guidelines for what qualifies as a winning idea will also be provided. Judges from each of the three participating companies will evaluate the competing hacks and ultimately pick a winner for each.
