I don’t want to be in a position in 16 years' time having the same conversations around “how can we get more women into tech? It has to start now.
Today we had the pleasure of speaking with Jacqui Bloom. Jacqui is the Growth and Investment Director at Startupbootcamp. She is particularly passionate about supporting women in business and bridging the funding gap for female entrepreneurs.

👋 Introducing Georgie Hubbard and Pam Caldwell
Georgie grew up in the UK in the city of Oxford with her parents and younger brother. Being surrounded by a family of entrepreneurs, she always knew she would start a business one day. Georgie was grateful to witness from an early age what determination, drive and ambition can achieve.
At 19, Georgie left home and flew to Greece to live and work, running a day spa for a popular UK travel company. A year on, Georgie got offered the opportunity to move to France with the same company and establish their day spa in the French Alps.
However, from a young age, Australia had always appealed to Georgie and at 23, she packed a rucksack and moved to the other side of the world to start the next chapter of her life. Georgie was ready for a career change, so I applied for a recruitment position at a well-established IT recruitment firm. Combining her sales and relationship-building skills, Georgie soon began to build an incredibly successful desk. With dreams of owning her own company still in mind, she decided the time was right to make that dream a reality and in 2018, started CH Solutions with her best friend and colleague, Pam Caldwell. Georgie currently has a team of 8, over 50 clients and have grown the business to over seven figures.
Georgie has witnessed first-hand the gender gap that exists in technology and is incredibly passionate to create systemic change starting with the impact of Sisterhood Club.
For Pam, life began in Glasgow, Scotland, where she started work at age 15, driven by an outstanding work ethic encouraged by her parents. She performed well at school and moved on to University, where she secured her Bachelor's Degree in History and Sociology. Post-uni life she accepted a position with a fantastic company, SThree, and landed her entry into the world of IT recruitment. Pam started as a rookie, moving on through the ranks to become a successful Senior Team Leader of 7 Consultants (the only female TL across nine offices in the UK at the time), where she coached 2 rookies through to become the 'top billers' across the UK business, whilst continuing to be a 'top biller' herself.
Pam moved to Australia in 2014 with a suitcase in hand, thinking she’d only be a year, but she’s never looked back since.
After working as a Recruitment Consultant in Australia, in 2018, Pam started CH Solutions. CH is a female-led tech and digital recruitment firm with a focus on growing trusted partnerships with its clients to deliver exceptional talent and expertise across the full talent management lifecycle. Pam operates with honesty and integrity at every turn and attributes these core values to the success and solid reputation I have established in the market.
Female empowerment, representation and encouraging women to push the boundaries in their own lives and not only find but use their voice, is something Pam has always been passionate about. Pam sees huge potential for women by entry into the world of Web 3.0 and through Sisterhood Club she’s driven to create a brand that represents innovation and contributes to pushing the envelope of what is achievable in this ever-evolving space.
