Overview

Sister Pitch is an event run by not-for-profit Global Sisters in partnership with Dentsu Australia that connects diverse, emerging women-led founders with investors and business leaders. In the most recent Sister Pitch, twelve Australian women-led businesses received more than $1 million in financial and strategic backing. The support comprised funding pledges alongside mentorship, industry connections and strategic advice intended to help ventures scale. Corporate supporters and funders named in the article include Afterpay, Meta, MECCA, The Iconic, Bunnings, American Express, KPMG and AMP. Global Sisters was founded by Mandy Richards in 2016 and focuses on supporting women who are often excluded from traditional business pathways. The programme leverages corporate partners to provide both capital and non-financial resources to participating founders.
