Our equity crowdfund in Australia’s first radio network for women, by women, was a huge success. For the first time, we opened the door for people to join us as a Broad Radio investor to fund our next stage of growth. Our next steps are to broadcast our internet radio via our purpose-built app, elevate women’s voices and invest in commercial partners. Together, we’re driving diversity in media and inspiring women.
