Where are all the women shaping the future of technology in Australia?
We knew they were there. We worked with them. Hired them. Recommended them. Invested in them. Watched them build companies, lead teams, create new technologies and shape industries.
But finding them wasn't always easy.
So we built Kalicoo.
Kalicoo is a network for women building, leading and investing in AI and emerging technology.
We make their expertise more visible - to each other and to the organisations, investors, event organisers, media and leaders looking for them.
Because visibility creates connection. And connection creates opportunity.
At the heart of Kalicoo is 100 Women in Australia - a growing network of exceptional women shaping AI and emerging technology.
Not another awards list. A living network designed to make it easier to find her, know her and work with her.
Kalicoo began in emerging technology and has grown alongside the women in it - from Web3 and spatial computing to the rapid rise of AI.
We aren't interested in chasing the technology of the moment. We're interested in the women shaping what comes next.
Whether you're looking for a speaker, founder, technologist, investor, adviser or collaborator - start with the network.
And if you're one of the women shaping what comes next, there's a place for you here.
Kalicoo has always been shaped through conversation, shared learning and women showing up for one another.
Our visual identity reflects the way Kalicoo brings individual voices, skills and stories together into something stronger.
Kalicoo is a play on the word 'calico', a humble textile which influenced the course of human history through the world of art and global trade. Following this pattern, we see Kalicoo creating value for culture and communities everywhere, delivering a positive impact for future generations to come. With each leader's powerful story, we will continually weave new insights into the collective narrative of human achievement.
SAARA138 is an Australian artist whose original works embody an organic style, reflecting her skill with textiles and illustration. What we love about Saara's designs is how they speak to the nature of our work as women in emerging tech, marking unique and individual strengths while drawing them together to deliver a new way of working in a growing industry. Her upcycling methods reflect our approach in encouraging transferable skills and knowledge sharing.
The Kalicoo logo symbolises our connectivity. Individual lines of work are represented as single threads intersecting and tied to form new cords of fabric defining our mission and focus forward. The star signifies the first spark, one from which all movements begin and draw upon. We pull together as builders sharing in every turn, loop, and phase of our early beginnings, bringing our vision to life.
