\"Catherine6. Catherine Prosser<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Business:<\/strong> StageBitz<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Looking for ways to broaden the appeal of her theatre software company Production Genie, Catherine Prosser devised StageBitz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The innovation is a web-based system designed to simplify prop management for production professionals, allowing them to manage the lifecycle of prop sourcing, maintenance and tracking.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The business, which was recognised at this year\u2019s Tech23 event, is on course to have four million props running through the system by 2014.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Shelli7. Shelli Trung<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Business:<\/strong> 3six5dates<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While a \u201creality dating blog\u201d may not sound like much of a money-spinner, Shelli Trung is making good headway with her business, 3six5dates.<\/p>\n

She co-ordinates a staff of 25 people to produce a site that follows four women, in four separate international cities, taking on 365 dates between them within the period of one year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

By the end of the year Trung, who previously started up in the property and marketing sectors, plans for the concept to be rolled out across TV, books and a movie.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Magda8. Magda Walczak<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Business:<\/strong> Atlassian<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As director of demand generation at software success story Atlassian, Magda Walczak has good claim to be one of the leading female figures in Australia\u2019s tech start-up space.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Aside from behind a driving force behind the onward march of Atlassian, Walczak is also a key figure in promoting the interests of women in the sector, leading a marketing campaign to increase the female presence in tech.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIf you go to a networking event for entrepreneurs or a conference it feels like out of a random 100 people probably only five or so are female,\u201d she told us in July<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe more we hear about stories of women in tech the more other women will be encouraged to enter the tech industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Marita9. Marita Cheng<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Business:<\/strong> Robogals Global<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cairns-born Marita Cheng moved to Melbourne to study at university in 2007, sparking her own start-up journey.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She initially started a tech company called Nudge, which provided timely reminders to people who often forget to take their medication.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When this business closed last year, Cheng was undaunted. She subsequently launched Robogals Global, a worldwide organisation that introduces young women to engineering and technology, building an impressive media presence as an advocate for a greater female presence in tech.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Carla10. Carla di Marco<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Business:<\/strong> Students4Hire<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While many of the women on this list have already kicked plenty of goals in business, Carla di Marco is just starting out<\/a> on her entrepreneurial endeavours.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, we predict a bright future for her business, Students4Hire. The start-up matches students looking for work with people who need various jobs handled.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Judges at the StartupSmart Awards earlier this year liked the concept so much that they awarded di Marco the Best Start-up Idea award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
