“Entrepreneurship” is the sexiest word of the year. But let’s set the razzle-dazzle aside for a minute and look at the reality of what it means to be an entrepreneur. It’s not all fame, fortune and fast money. Running your own business, or being part of a startup team, comes down to grit, determination, sacrifice and hard choices. It’s not so glamorous when you’re in the muck, trying to climb the biggest mountain of your life.

Get Real is an honest, imperfect look at the journeys of women working in technology and startups. We’re slipping off the sugar-coated shell and taking a hard look at what’s underneath.

Real advice. Real stories. Real women. We hope you’re brave enough to explore with us.

Featuring: Cat Hillier, Barinder Rasode, Nikki Durkin, Ray Walia, Tori Holmes, and more...

P.S. We know that the tech sector hasn’t been scoring so well on the diversity card. But diversity drives innovation. We’re taking a stand against our low diversity score by showcasing more women as role-models, leaders, mentors and speakers in the space. Join us to inspire more gender diversity in tech. Men are encouraged to support, share and attend too :)
