The idea, in a minute
Bring your curiosity.
Leave someone with a possibility.
A useful introduction. An insight from your own experience. A fresh way to look at a problem. Something you know could be just what another woman needs to take her next step.
Bold Company brings local women together around ideas emerging from Traction Labs | Bold Moves, Pollinators’ one-day innovation sprint for women with an idea.
Hear what they’re exploring, ask questions and see where you can help. You might find a new connection—or the encouragement to give your own idea a go.
Good company, a little local backing and people ready to champion what comes next.

A conversation worth having
What does it really take
to give an idea a go?
Sam Garven has built a startup, been through Techstars and made the difficult decision to close a business when the case for continuing wasn’t strong enough.
She brings first-hand experience of developing ideas, testing them and listening to the market. Her practical, generous approach to mentoring is why Pollinators chose her to facilitate Bold Moves.
At Bold Company, join an open conversation about the possibilities, surprises and difficult decisions that come with starting something. Bring the questions you’d like to ask.
Meet Sam on LinkedInWhere the ideas begin
One idea. One focused day.
Is it worth pursuing?
Traction Labs | Bold Moves
A one-day innovation sprint for women.
Bring the idea you keep coming back to. A new product, a side hustle, a community initiative or a better way of doing things inside your organisation. You might be a founder, an innovator or an intrapreneur—someone creating change from within.
Work intensively with Sam Garven and other women to challenge your assumptions, explore who needs your idea, try an early version and work out what to test with real people.
Protected working time, practical guidance and decisions to make. Leave with something tangible to test and a clearer view of whether to pursue your idea, change direction or put it aside.
You don’t need a polished plan. You do need an idea you’re ready to work on.

Saturday 7 November 2026
Local money. Local ideas.
A little backing.
People in your corner.
Every $100 ticket includes $10 towards a prize for one promising idea shared on the evening.
A practical boost.
100 women × $10 from every ticket = $1,000 towards one promising local idea. The final prize depends on ticket sales and will support a practical next step.
More than one idea can benefit.
An introduction to a potential customer. Feedback from someone who understands the problem. An offer to try an early version. Every woman sharing an idea has a chance to find useful support.
This first evening is a pilot: a chance to see what happens when local women put their money, experience and connections behind local ideas.
Be part of the evening
Bring yourself.
Bring someone along.

A few things you might wonder
Do I need to be in business?
No. Come because you’re curious about local ideas and interested in helping someone take a next step. You might run a business, work in one, volunteer, be taking a break or simply enjoy meeting people.
Do I need to bring an idea or make a presentation?
No. The women sharing ideas will come from Traction Labs | Bold Moves. Guests are invited to listen, connect and contribute where they can.
What does the $100 ticket cover?
$90 supports the evening’s hospitality and delivery, and $10 goes towards the prize. There is no additional required prize contribution. Substantial canapés and drinks are included. See Humanitix for booking details.
What is the format of the evening?
It’s a canapé-style gathering with time to mingle, hear the ideas and join the conversation with Sam. Contact Pollinators about venue, seating or accessibility requirements.
How will the prize be chosen?
One promising idea with a practical next step will receive the prize, funded by $10 from each paid ticket. Contact Pollinators for eligibility and selection details.
Is this an ongoing commitment?
This invitation is for one evening. There is no membership or ongoing financial commitment.
What happens after the evening?
Pollinators plans to connect the women developing ideas with guests who offer support, and share a short update on the prize recipient’s next step. If the sprint interests you, contact Pollinators about taking part in Bold Moves or future Traction programmes.
