If you’re a true entrepreneur, you’ll know that slaving away for 3 to 5 years at uni doesn’t always provide an effective ROI or guarantee success.
Excellerator Incubator’s founder Brett Whitford grew up in housing commission rentals and after launching his first business when he was 21, he went on to build an ASX-listed business that, at its peak, was valued at over $700million. Since 2012, he’s also been an Adjunct Professor at UTS’ business school.
Excellerator Incubator is opening in Sydney and Melbourne throughout 2016 and is offering a solid combo of practical ‘business’ study with IRL start-up experience.
You can either pitch and bring to life your own start-up concept, or be placed within a team to build a big idea; while you rack up formal qualifications, that can be used for pathway and university credits, you’ll also be building a real-life business.
And capturing your entire journey will be a bonafide reality television crew, who are creating a series around the school’s class of 2016.
All the while, you’ll be reaping the benefits of a traditional incubator including: access to world-class mentors, $20k of potential seed funding for the top graduating start-ups, opportunities to pitch to Australian and international investors, legal and accounting support, office space, graphic design, marketing support AND MORE!
At the conclusion of the 2016 program, the top graduates will be flown to Silicon Valley to pitch to top venture capitalists.
If building a business while you study and pitching in front of real life investors sounds like something you’d like to try, you can simply RSVP to one of Excellerator Incubator’s EUREKA! Pitch Days in Sydney and Melbourne.
