The Aurora Tech Award is an annual global prize for women founders of tech startups. We believe in breaking down barriers and promoting equality in tech entrepreneurship.

Women entrepreneurs in IT face challenges such as investor bias, stereotypes, and a lack of role models, limiting their representation. According to Crunchbase, only 2.3% of venture funding goes to women-led startups. Aurora is here to change that! Our mission is to discover hidden gems among women-led startups and provide the support they need to succeed.

We invite you to participate this year and level up your product’s potential. We are interested in your company and your journey as a founder. Join the Aurora Tech Award and become a role model for women in IT worldwide.
