Fun and inspirational events
Through a series of Portfolio Events throughout the year, Apropela provides the opportunity for carefully selected female Founders to present to high impact 'Connectors' - influential individuals with large networks.
Each Founder is coached by Apropela in order to deliver an impactful 7-minute introduction to their business and to outline the connections needed in order to take their businesses to the next level. This is followed by a rapid series of 7-minute 'huddle' sessions in which attending Connectors have the opportunity to make offers to connect the Founders to individuals within their networks - helping these women break through barriers and gain access to high level decision makers.  
Our events in Sydney and Melbourne have earned a reputation for being entertaining, life-changing and fun. There’s a tangible buzz of excitement in the room as issues are articulated, connections made and new possibilities opened up.
