Calling Regional WA Women Founders
Master your story, sharpen your strategy, and get investor ready
You started with a great idea. You have done the hard work to build it into something real.
Now you are in ready-to-grow mode and you know investment is the next logical step —
but the world of investors, pitch decks and term sheets can feel like a completely different language.
The Connected Futures Hub gives you six months to learn that language, while deepening your understanding of your own business, sharpening your strategy and building the confidence to walk into any investor conversation ready.

Connected Futures Hub does things differently...
Built specifically for founders outside the major city hubs — because that gap in the market is exactly where we operate.
Only 10 founders so you get individual attention with a program tailored to individual business needs, and a supportive community of like-minded women.
We don’t just teach you how to pitch — you get mentoring from experienced investors and direct introductions to active investors.
Leave with a better business, not just a better pitch deck.
No course fees, no equity, no hidden costs — the only investment required is your time, your commitment and your ambition.
Backed by 10 years of experience, 1,000+ founders supported, and 45+ programmes delivered — we know what works.
Together, we're creating stronger regional economies and a more diverse, resilient innovation ecosystem.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You just need a real business, a bold vision, and the drive to back yourself.
Supported by the Department of Energy and Economic Diversification through the Innovation Pathways Program, funded by the New Industries and Innovation Fund.
