Sorry, men…… this is not for you. This is what is known as positive discrimination, and apparently, it is legal.

Now, if you are a man, you could pretend you are not, but the chances are you may get caught out. And I am not sure what that will mean, but the chances are it will not be in your favour. This ‘not in your favour thing’ I learnt from my wife. There is no point in arguing or proving a point. You will lose. Full stop.

So, this is for all your lovely, beautiful ladies out there. Am I allowed to say that? You see, I am a 50 plus aged guy, so I rarely know what I am allowed to say and what I am not. And that is according to my teenage kids.

But on a serious note, you can ignore my crass humour and ask if you are running a tech start-up or scaleup, would you like to see it absolutely rocket?

That is because there is something called The Elevating Female Founders program, and it is calling out to you.

Our mates at River City Labs are running this cracker program designed for tech start-ups and scale-ups. It’s all about using their top-notch experience and connections to launch your tech business into the stratosphere.

I have been involved with River City Labs, based in Brisbane, for about two years now. It is a dedicated tech hub and a massive community of start-up tech companies, mentors and advisors whose sole aim is to get Queensland’s tech founders from start-up to something more serious.

Here’s the gloss on why you should jump in:

• Free as a bird: Thanks to Advance Queensland, there’s no fee to join! I always say there is no such thing as a free lunch – except, in this case, maybe there is.

• You get a babe mentor: You will get paired with a female expert who’ll be your own personal champion, helping you smash your goals.

• Shine bright at Something Tech 2025: Every year River City Labs organises a Tech Expo – you will be allowed to show off your amazing business at the expo!

• Level up for 8 months: The program runs from December 2nd, 2024, and is jam-packed with value for 8 months. ️

• Learn from anywhere: All the workshops are online, so you can join from the beach, the bush, the shed, mum’s car, the local Woollies or the bathroom. Basically, anywhere in QLD!

• Labs membership unlocked: Get a year’s access to the Labs after you finish the program – sweet!
