Last week, I had the opportunity to attend #TechNetworkingVancouver, an amazing event where tech professionals, entrepreneurs, investors, and passionate visionaries came together to shape the future. It was an enriching experience to share ideas and connect with brilliant minds—over a great beer! 🍺 A big shoutout to those behind groundbreaking projects. Here are some of the most impressive startups I came across: 📊 InsiHts: An AI-powered analytics tool that transforms data into actionable insights, helping businesses optimize strategies, track metrics, and make data-driven decisions. 🤝 businessroom: An exclusive platform connecting entrepreneurs with co-founders, micro-investors, venture capitalists, or buyers looking to acquire businesses. 🎓 Marking Helper: Empowering teachers to deliver impactful, personalized feedback students love—while saving time on grading.

Community is Key Series Part 3 We've been introducing you to the incredible community that supports our program, united by one common goal: to fuel the growth of our founders and their companies. Today, let's shine the spotlight on our founders and their companies💡 🔢 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀: ⬆ Over the past five years, 56 companies have participated in our accelerator program in Torino, building companies in a diverse range of industries (find out more in the slides). 🌍 These companies hail from 18 different countries, with the majority coming from Italy (36%), followed by the UK (11%) and the US (11%). ➕ 41% of these companies have at least one female founder, and of these, 73% are led by a female CEO. 79% of founders or companies come from emerging markets. Both numbers continue to grow with each new program. 😮 Collectively, our alumni have raised more than $100M in post-program funding and created over 500 jobs. More than 150 individual founders are part of our program alumni community as of today! 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝘆, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆. Our alumni often become mentors, join us for alumni-led panels, sharing their experiences with the next generation of entrepreneur during founder stories. Founders thrive around other founders and learn a lot from each other, which is why keeping the connection with our alumni and encouraging connections between them is important for us! We are grateful to be working with these outstanding teams and for the value and time they give back to their peer founders 👏 ⏩ 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆?

Have you heard of the New Wave - UNSW Founders program yet? The program is all about empowering women to make their business visions come to life. With guidance from top industry mentors and facilitators, we learn to identify problems, develop innovative solutions, and pitch our ideas effectively. I could share how, throughout the program, I gained practical skills in creative thinking, lean methodology, branding, design, and pitching which equipped me with the tools and confidence needed to succeed in the startup world. But, this program gave me much more than that knowledge. One moment that I think about often is an example that one of our speakers spoke about at a session. When Elon Musk was on a first date in University, he talked to the girl about electric cars for 3 hours. While humorous in the moment, with the power of hindsight, we know how successful he was able to make Tesla. The example made me understand the importance of being crazily obsessed with your idea. If you feel nervous or ashamed to talk about your idea with other people, there is probably a reason behind it. Maybe deep down, you know there are a few loose screws and it's not there yet or maybe you are nervous to commit to being an entrepreneur. Whatever it may be, the key is to face the challenge head on and fix the problems that come your way. At the end of the day, your startup is your brain baby. You have to be its biggest hype man. I would like to thank my team Veda R., Nikita Pili Roboh and Karina Kosim. Together we were able to see the pitfalls of the skincare industry and its wastage and how we could minimise it with Glammy - Where beauty meets innovation. And the entire New Wave team, especially Victoria-Rose Tucker and Mariana Luis Castillo Patron. Many more such opportunities to come!! #UNSWFounders #WomenInBusiness #Startup

Attended 𝑪𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑽𝑪 𝑪𝒐𝒅𝒆: 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑰𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒔 𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝑾𝒂𝒏𝒕 at the NYU Entrepreneurial Institute and walked away with some key insights from Zach Cohen, investor at a16z. The biggest takeaway? The path to building something new doesn’t have to be lonely—it can be strategic. Zach emphasized that many others have built similar dreams, so why not use that as an advantage? Talk to CEOs with similar business models, dive deep into AI adoption within your space, and learn from people operating on the cutting edge. Tools like Twitter, Notebook LM, and Google Scholar are not just resources—they’re assets for founders to stay ahead of trends. For younger founders, the fear of securing VC funding is real, but Zach outlined three critical things to remember: 1. Ensure you have the right team - wity skills and team attitude. 2. Approach with confidence. 3. Recognize that New York is catching up to Silicon Valley's shift—at least 17% of founders start their businesses in college, and that trend is growing. Pushing forward with a bit more clarity on how to navigate the VC landscape. #VC #Founders #Entrepreneurship #NYU #Investment #AI
