12-Week Founder Program

Startup Launch Accelerator

You have an idea burning a hole in your notebook and this is where it becomes a real, revenue-ready business. Over twelve weeks you shape the offer, find your first paying customers and walk away with a pitch deck that stands up in front of Australian investors.

Why This Program Exists

From notebook scribble to first invoice

Most first-time founders stall because nobody tells them what to do next. Our accelerator hands you a week-by-week map covering validation interviews, pricing experiments, landing page copy and first sales conversations so momentum never dies on a quiet Tuesday afternoon.

Every module is taught by a founder who has actually raised capital or bootstrapped past six figures in Australia. You get templates, live clinics and a peer cohort that keeps you honest when the early enthusiasm starts to dip.

  • Customer discovery scripts you can put to work this week
  • Pricing experiments that don't scare away early buyers
  • A pitch deck reviewed by real investors
  • Two full years of alumni community access
480+ Founders graduated
71% Still trading at 24 months
38 Ventures that raised seed
14 Industry mentors on call

How We Got Here

Six years of watching founders win and lose

We started running this program because too many talented Australians were burning savings on courses that only taught theory. Here is the short version of how our approach changed.

2019

The first Melbourne cohort

Nine founders in a rented co-working room, six weeks, no fancy slides. Four of those businesses are still operating today.

2022

Going national

We opened remote cohorts so founders in Perth, Hobart and regional Queensland could join without booking a flight.

2025

Investor review panel

We partnered with active angel investors to grade every final pitch deck before graduation week.

The Twelve-Week Journey

What actually happens once you enrol

No surprise homework, no firehose of theory. Here is the sequence we have refined across nine cohorts.

Secure My Seat

Kick-off and founder map

We audit your idea, skills and cash runway, then lock a realistic twelve-week goal you can actually measure.

Customer discovery sprint

You run twenty real conversations using our scripts and log what genuinely hurts for your niche.

Offer and pricing lab

We shape a first offer and test three price points with real prospects before you build anything.

Landing page build week

Copy, wireframe and launch a one-page site that captures emails or pre-orders from day one.

First ten sales push

Daily accountability in the cohort channel until you invoice your tenth paying customer.

Pitch and demo day

You finish with a reviewed deck, a clear growth plan and a warm introduction list from our alumni.

Founder Questions

The things people ask before joining

Straight answers to the questions we hear most often from first-time founders considering the accelerator.

No. Most people join with just an idea or a rough side project. We cover the appropriate business structure and ABN registration during weeks two and three.

Plan on six to eight hours including the live clinic, applied homework and cohort channel participation. Founders with a full-time job routinely keep up by blocking Sundays.

Everything runs online via video calls so founders anywhere in Australia can join. We do hold optional in-person meetups in Melbourne and Sydney a few times a year.

That is normal and expected. Pivoting is coached, not punished, and several of our best alumni businesses started as a hard pivot in week six.

Founder Intensive graduates get warm introductions to our angel network. Everyone in the cohort gets access to our investor readiness checklist and pitch recording feedback.

Every clinic is recorded and posted within a few hours, and you can post questions in the cohort channel for a written reply from the facilitator.
