This week, I had an awesome chat with Dr Milette Gillow and Sedinam Simpson, the brilliant minds behind The Tech Bros. These ladies are shaking up the male-dominated world of tech by increasing the number of all-female, all-technical startups with hackathons, panels, and workshops…AND a newly launched accelerator programme!

If you're a woman in STEM with a startup itch, or just curious about how we can level the playing field in tech, you definitely want to listen to this one.

What We Dug Into:

• Milette and Sedi's stories and why they said "enough!" to the status quo.

• The sneaky ways bias shows up for women founders.

• How The Tech Bros are creating a supportive community and giving women the tools to build amazing tech companies.

• Their upcoming accelerator – seriously exciting stuff if you're looking to launch!

• Cool tech areas they're hyped about (robotics, anyone?).

• Why building a strong network is EVERYTHING.

• Their big dreams for a more diverse tech future.

• Plus, a quick chat about the different hurdles for women coming from academia vs. industry.

Innovators who Have Their Attention:

• Polari Labs: Making preparation for anal sex effortless, quick, and totally spontaneous.

• Level Zero Health: Leveraging continuous monitoring for reproductive health

• YAMLRG (Yet Another Machine Learning Group): - An awesome community for machine learning researchers, engineers, and hobbyists.
