The Founder Institute, the world's largest startup accelerator, is now accepting applications for the Australia Summer 2025 Semester. Since launching in Sydney in 2012, the Founder Institute has helped launch over 30 companies in the region, and we are now excited to launch many more.
If you could benefit from expert training and advice to launch a technology startup in Sydney, click here to apply today. The program is open to founders of all kinds – including solo founders, those without an idea or company, and those that have a full-time job.
Those who apply by the Early Application Deadline (Dec 08, 2024) will have their application fees waived (typically $50) and are eligible for Founder Institute Fellowships.
In the Founder Institute's four-month, part-time program, promising startup entrepreneurs “learn by doing” and launch a company through structured training courses, practical business-building assignments, and expert feedback from a large network of business mentors. Plus, aspiring founders are not required to quit their day job to participate, so they can begin building a business around their ideas without putting their livelihood at risk.

In only 15 years of operation, over 7,500 graduate companies across 200 cities have used the Founder Institute to validate their idea, develop their plans, refine their product, build an advisory board, prepare for seed funding, and more. Our efforts in Sydney have also been profiled by several high profile media channels, including the Financial Review, BRW, BRR Media, and more.
The Founder Institute also operates a chapter in Perth, where applications are also open now.
