Today on the show we're lucky to have Kate Cornick.

Kate is the CEO of LaunchVic, Victoria's Startup Agency responsible for developing Victoria's startup ecosystem.

LaunchVic is doing great things for the ecosystem and particularly for women through the Alice Anderson Fund, the support of Scale Investors, the funding for SBE, Atto and other women-focused accelerators and being a voice for women in tech and startups at a government level.

We cover her passion for tech and innovation, the secret to LaunchVic's success, the 475% growth in Melbourne's ecosystem in the four years since LaunchVic's establishment and getting funding to female founders.
