Aurora Tech Award is a global program dedicated to supporting women founders of technology startups through funding, mentorship, exposure and community. The initiative recognises the significant funding gap women-led startups continue to face across the global venture capital ecosystem and aims to address this imbalance through direct financial support and long-term ecosystem building. Aurora Tech Award creates opportunities for women founders from different regions of the world to compete for meaningful funding awards, gain access to a curated network of investors and mentors, and receive the exposure needed to attract further investment for their ventures. Such a comprehensive support model of Aurora Tech Award differentiates it from purely financial awards that provide funding without the additional ecosystem support essential for sustained startup growth. The program specifically focuses on the founders who face structural barriers in classical venture capital channels.
