During COVID, she watched women bear the heaviest load in their professional and personal lives, so she started coaching, then building. The result is Lift Women, Australia's first crowdfunding platform dedicated to women founders. \nIn this episode, Irene talks about running 100 free consultations in two months, raising $1.3 million, and what it means to give women the option to fund their dreams without giving away ownership of them. A story about seeing a gap, and having the courage to fill it.\nMaking It in Melbourne is produced by the City of Melbourne with technical and research assistance from RMIT School of Media and Communication.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/4EzAAnSUNVovMyN51pGc6C5TCqq9qVNpG6_2jg4n9Qs/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lNzll/YTFjZWVlMjgxOWY1/YzBlOWFlOWVhMmJm/YzM5MS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
