Could your idea become the next big thing? Velocity can help you find out.
The Velocity program helps early-stage founders pressure test their startups - speeding up their discovery of first customers and pathway to product-market fit. Open to both for-profit and impact startups, it is important to us that both types of founders influence and motivate each other to succeed in business and in impact.
Over 15 weeks, the Velocity program will support you with evening workshops that include expert speakers, founder stories, and group activities to challenge and inspire you. Starting with customer validation and value proposition to test your biggest assumptions, through to signing your first customers, we give you clarity and guidance to help you make the decisions that increase the probability of your success and surround you with a cohort of high-potential founders.
The program costs $500 per founder. No University of Melbourne affiliation is required for this program.
Each workshop is a mixture of theory, group activities and networking to improve your knowledge and keep you on track.
Our mentors have been there and done it, and are excited to share stories and listen to your challenges to help you grow your startup.
Founders from different startups at Velocity work with each other, sharing skills and experience to help each other solve their biggest challenges.
The Velocity Showcase is your opportunity to pitch to a large audience and debut your startup to Melbourne's ecosystem.
