"I gained such a well-rounded, realistic insight into the Startup eco-system and what itâs like to run or work in a startup. If youâre at all curious, I couldnât recommend this program enough."
"Amazing opportunity to meet new people and to learn and grow out of my comfort zone!"
"I had such an incredible experience doing the women fellowship. It was such a supportive, caring, enthusiastic community that I feel very lucky to be part of. "
"I read my list of reasons why âI am remarkableâ before interviews and it definitely reminds me how far Iâve come and how much I have to offer. Thanks Startmate for helping me get my mojo back!"
"Not only did the fellowship equip me with skills and confidence to pivot my career into the startup ecosystem, it also introduced me to an incredible cohort of incredible, Â ambitious women. The startup ecosystem attracts some brilliant people, many of whom I have been lucky to meet."
"I came into the Fellowship quite lost and not sure what I wanted to do. I left the Fellowship with a great new network of amazing women and with a much clearer picture of what I wanted to do with my life in the startup ecosystem. It really helped my clarify what I wanted, what was important to me and build my confidence.â¨"
"The Startmate Women Fellowship was a rocket ship to developing my next career pivot. Great network, generous mentors and a kickass community of amazing women!"
"The Womenâs Fellowship over delivered! Â You can become a freaking genius about entering into the startup ecosystem but only if you DO THE WORK in the fellowship. Â And oh how it is worth it. Â The rewards are priceless. Â Make the Womenâs Fellowship apart of your daily habits for 8 weeks and you will be amazed. Â No joke."
"I've met so many amazing, ambitious and inspiring women in this program. Would highly recommend."
"This fellowship was eye opening to the opportunities around us where we can make an impact. In particular it has motivated me to join the power-force Climate Tech community who are creating positive solutions to the climate problem!"

Frequently asked questions
What if Iâm going to be overseas / away for some of the dates?
As long as you are available for the full-day, in-person bootcamp, this is not a problem.Â
The following 6 weeks post-bootcamp provide ongoing support and resources, which you may work through at your own pace.
â
Do I need to be based in Melbourne?
As the majority of the bootcamp takes place in-person in Melbourne, this cohort is specifically for Victorian women. Â
(đ Not in Victoria but still want to join the community? Check out Ladymates instead here!)
Is the Fellowship virtual or in-person?
The one-day bootcamp is in-person with mandatory attendance. Following this, there are 6 weeks of optional, async resources that are available virtually.
Is there any financial assistance available?
Yes! We would hate for epic women to be limited by financial hardship. If you are unable to participate due to the program fee, you may be eligible for a scholarship. If this is the case, please reach out to kelly@startmate.com.au
Am I still eligible for the Fellowship if I already have startup / tech experience?
Yes absolutely - this Fellowship is for anyone looking to pivot their career. We will have women working in corporate, government, startups, scale ups, big tech, multi-national corps, healthcare- you name it. If you want to change roles and are seeking skills, motivation and support to do so, come join us.
