A place for women founders, and those who back them.

Capital X is a network of leading startup and technology industry professionals committed to supporting women founders to fund and scale their startups, and increase their visibility.

Who is Capital X for?

Founders

For women founders wanting to raise capital or any founder wanting to connect with women investors and advisors.

Investors

For investors in startups in Australia or New Zealand seeking to build their networks and increase dealflow.

Advisors

For people with experience as mentors, advisors or directors in startups and tech, wanting to support other women.

About Capital X

In 2023, only 4% of Australia’s $3.5B venture funding went to all-women teams, while mixed-gender teams received just 18%.

Our industry needs both systemic change and immediate practical strategies to accelerate progress.

Capital X is an open source community of founders, investors, and advisors (of all genders) committed to championing women in our ecosystem, including to boosting visibility and aiding fundraising and startup growth.
