How to Start a Side Hustle: Advice from UQ Alumni with our very own Holly Hunt

June 28, 2021 Women in Digital

Are you looking for more meaningful work? Want to monetise a passion project? Or simply curious about starting your own business?

At the recent ‘Starting a Side Hustle’ UQ Young Alumni workshop, Women in Digital Founder and CEO Holly Hunt (née Tattersall) joined Pablo Farias Navarro (Founder of Zenva) and Dr Josh Case (Doctor, MedTech SME & Software Dev) to discuss how they turned their side hustles into successful, commercial businesses.

“My passion for my side hustle completely distracted me from my full-time job. For me, it wasn’t if I took the leap, it was when and how. Surround yourself with likeminded people who have made that leap before.” – Holly Hunt (née Tattersall)

Investing in Startup Women ft. Jackie Vullinghs (Airtree), Holly Cardew (Carted) and Jason Atkins (Cake Equity)

June 22, 2021 Women in Digital

One of major (and largest) hurdles that startup founders face is finding funding. For women, that uphill battle can be even steeper even with the rise of the number of women founders in Australia. There’s no better time than now to have a discussion on how we can help more women make the leap and get funding.

This is why our sister company, Hunt & Co. was so excited to get involved in the ‘Investing in Startup Women’ event. Hunt & Co. partnered with Amazon Web Services, Cake Equity, Tractor Ventures, Australian Computer Society and River City Labs to find out more from three very successful professionals who firsthand know the fundraising and capital raising space. Read the full article here.

“It’s been shown that men are historically better at overstating their potential success. In turn, they are offered great funding opportunities. So it goes without saying that we should encourage women to do the same. The key advice here? Dream bigger and aim high. Ask yourself, ‘if I had $100 million in the bank right now, what would I build and what is my ambition?'”
