Entrepreneurship
Mathilde first got involved with the entrepreneurship environment through her studies in the Creative Industries. It was the creative aspect of this field while also being able to make a change in various ways, which led Mathilde to go down this path from finishing her master studies at QUT as a mature student.
She has for example worked for QUT Bluebox and QUT ACE (a leading Australian entrepreneurship research centre).
Since first working in this field, Mathilde has also participated in a broad range of activities such as the Creative Tech Startup Weekend i Brisbane (2016), the Collider Accelerator (investment received), pitching including shortlisting for the CREATIVE3 pitch competition (round 1). Beside this, Mathilde has received various bursaries from QUT CEA and worked out of their offices.
While being a student at QUT, Mathilde was a committee member of the first student entrepreneurship club at the university and since then Mathilde has been crucial in establishing and getting the female entrepreneurship initiative of the ground, QUT HerHub. Early on she was also inspired by being a volunteer for the Run The World event - a conferene for extraordinary women.
Mathilde also holds a certificate in New Venture Leadership by MIT after being selected for their first Bootcamp in Brisbane (highly competitive selection process).
