About us
Built by women founders, for women founders
Strategic support for the moments that matter.
Why we exist
Scaling a business is hard. Scaling without the right support is harder.
March Collective was built to bridge the post-startup gap. We exist to support women founders through the complex, high-stakes moments that shape what happens next—whether you're raising capital, building a team, or rethinking your role as a leader.
We work with women founders who are already in motion, and give them the support to scale with confidence, clarity, and capital they can actually use.
Our vision is long-term:
More women-led businesses crossing the $10M, $50M, $100M thresholds
More ownership and more exits for Australian founders
More seats at the table—and more tables built from scratch
Why it matters
Women founders are not short on ambition.
But they are navigating a system that consistently undervalues their work, underfunds their companies, and underestimates their leadership.
The numbers speak for themselves:
-Only 3% of global venture capital goes to women-led businesses.
-Women-founded companies receive less funding, but return more per dollar invested.
-Founders raising capital often face pattern-matching bias, being judged against models they were never allowed to define.
-Most scale-up support is built for a different kind of founder—or stops at MVP.
But the gap isn’t just about capital. It’s about access to experienced advice, high-trust networks, and the kind of strategic guidance that keeps a business growing after early traction.
That’s where we come in.
Our values
Power that uplifts.
Wisdom that guides.
Affection that connects.
Joy in the journey.
We believe in sharp thinking, honest advice, and support that respects your ambition.
