Looking Up Feeling Good Partners with Steel Chicks
If you followed my numerous posts over the years you know I like jumping in early on new products or services – not all have been successful, especially on Kickstarter and Indiegogo, but you roll the dice sometimes and see what happens.
Over the years Looking Up Feeling Good was an early community investor in Hepburn Wind for Australia’s first community wind farm. That has been a great investment to be part of, building capacity for sustainable energy and showing others how to go about doing so successfully.

And now we’ve jumped on an opportunity to be the first sponsor of Steel Chicks, an entity that will help more women build, sustain, and enter into the world of steel manufacturing, in all it’s forms. It is perhaps one of the big opportunity spaces and Looking Up Feeling Good are delighted to be a part of it
