The Student Startup Accelerator Academy 5-week workshop program with custom support from expert mentors will help take student startups to the next level. The accelerator provides in-kind seed investment, workspace, workshops, mentors, and public pitch events for applicants. This program has limited capacity and is suited to those students who already have some traction with their business idea, or have completed the Introduction to Entrepreneurship program, and need further support to grow their business.
Funded by the Victorian Government’s Victorian Challenge and Enrichment Series, this is a FREE 5-week workshop for students to get greater individualised support.
