Purpose

LaunchVic is seeking to fund the establishment of high-quality Pre-Accelerator Programs delivered by Victorian-based Universities to support aspiring startup entrepreneurs.

Overview

The successfully funded University Pre-Accelerator Programs will:

  • Support startup entrepreneurs by helping them bring their startup idea to life and create an MVP; and
  • Increase the pipeline of startups being created across Victoria.

This Project will give Victorian Universities the opportunity to apply for funding to develop a greater entrepreneurship focus within the university, and deliver a pre-accelerator program.

Applicants will need to demonstrate a clear need or gap within their university ecosystem, have demonstrable experience growing startups and startup communities (or commit to working with delivery partner/s who do), and request grant funding for a pre-accelerator program that can realistically help aspiring founders to start and grow startups.

Limitations

Applicants must be a Victorian University as listed on the Live In Melbourne website.
