Founded in 2019, Atto is a new school for female tech entrepreneurship. Our flagship offering is a 12-week remote pre-accelerator program that has been backed by LaunchVic in Australia.
We help female founders launch tech companies in an independent, scalable, and sustainable manner. Our goal is to become the number one educational provider for the world’s most promising female founders.
Atto’s Demo Day will be a startup showcase featuring the founders in the Atto Accelerator 2022 batch.
Each startup will have the chance to pitch their business, share their progress so far and outline their big vision for the future.
