League Of Extraordinary Women

We were female entrepreneurs starting out in business and discovering what being an entrepreneur meant - the entrepreneurial journey was at times lonely and isolating. It was hard to explain to our friends why we couldn’t go out for wines on Friday nights so we could pull all-nighters to work on building our business. As fate would have it, we met at networking events and realised that we were all on the same entrepreneurial journey – we were thrilled that we weren’t the only ones experiencing the joy and pain of building a business. So over coffee and cupcakes, we dreamed of creating a small group that would allow other female business owners, entrepreneurs, and startups meet other inspiring women to connect, share and inspire. That small group turned into a group of 160 women at our very first event. Since then, the last 5 years have been a whirlwind journey watching the League grow across Australia and North America. We have seen first hand over the last 5 years how the League has inspired new business startups, facilitated collaborations, created incredible friendships and inspired the next generation of female entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs. We have showcased over 80+ female entrepreneur speakers, run conferences with over 3000 women attending, and created a community of over 100,000. The League continues to pave the way for the female entrepreneurs of the future. Not just in Australia, but globally – especially in countries where women don’t have the opportunities and freedom that we do.
