On Sunday 23 June, 30 teams comprising 39 enterprising individuals commenced their pre-accelerator journey.
During a three-month intense focus on their startup idea, participants will get to build and test their idea or refine an early startup in its infancy. 47% of the startups are in the early ideation stage, 33% are being actively worked on, and 20% are in their first year of operation. Ideas range from robotics to tech platforms and a new approach to traditional business models.
Congratulations to the teams on commencing this exciting journey and a big thank you to LaunchVic for its financial support, and our presenters and mentors who are donating their time to assist them.
