Finding product-market fit. Making early hires. Building a growth engine. These are the hardest things you’ll do in the early stages. We'll help you learn the specific skills you need to get there.
And beyond...

No cookie-cutter lectures, no hands-off investors, no out-of-touch mentors, no magic bullets. Just your team executing at the highest level.

Got 'em coach

One-on-one with the best in the game.
Get practical guidance from a dedicated, full-time coach who has built or exited their own high-growth company. Never afraid to ask the hard questions, they'll point out blind spots to help you grow.

Series ABCs

Funding under one roof.
Develop a clear fundraising plan for your business and create a data room for future investors. You'll never need to look beyond our network for growth funding – in one year or ten.

Places, people!

Early culture building.
Accelerate and professionalise your recruitment and onboard the best people to scale your business. Our real-life database of thousands of talented, passionate people is at your service.

CAC, LTV, ROI

Become an acronym aficionado.
Learn the metrics that will make or break your business. Develop a top-tier product, increase user adoption and identify and address any product issues to minimise churn.

The holy grail

Product? Market? Fit.
It won't come as an "aha" moment, or to you in a dream, but we'll work with you over months of product iterations and customer feedback to ensure your product is perfectly suited for its market.

Make bacon

This little business went to market.
Establish ambitious growth targets, put your business model under the microscope, and develop revenue streams and unit economics to propel your go-to market strategy.

Be responsible

Judge, jury, executor.
Be accountable to your team, board and fellow cohort with regular sharing of updates – that means wins and losses. Drive discipline by establishing clear KPIs for your business and team.

Have you met...?

Access to the little black book.
Get intros to high-profile investors, advisors and potential clients. Chat with domain experts who speak your language – whether it's blockchain or agtech, we have experts standing by.

Get perspective

Exclusively inclusive.
Build a team with diverse perspectives, backgrounds and global experience – which is core to taking your business into new markets. The more different you are, the fresher your thinking is.

A cool $1 mil

Cash to scale.
We can invest to the tune of $1m throughout the life of your company –including up to $200k of initial funding to build your A team, rev that growth engine and get to start line of scalability.

Control freak

No board seats.
We’d rather help you appoint independent board members with deep domain expertise, than have us sit on multiple boards and not give you the time you deserve. No one wins there.

Aussie-wide

Hybrid working from all corners.
Location shouldn't be a barrier to startup success. So whether you're dialing in from Darwin or commuting from Carlton, you'll have the exact same program experience. Thanks, Zoom.

We'll give you an unfair winning advantage.

We fund and support the most promising early-stage companies in Australia. Do you have what it takes?
