Next month, the Grand Final of the Accelerator for Enterprising Women Kickstarter Challenge will be taking place. Five finalists will have the chance to present their groundbreaking ideas in person, to secure a share of $60,000 in equity-free funding. Last year’s winner was Alexandra C., Founder of Platform Zero , a digital platform that diverts tonnes of food from landfills, provides discounted produce to restaurants, cafes and small businesses, and links supermarkets to various food charities. The platform also ensures that farmers get paid for their produce instead of the fruits of their labour being thrown away. We cannot wait to see the presentations from the inspiring finalists in Canberra on Wednesday 9 October.
