As we launch the Melbourne Founder Institute, we are excited to announce another partnership with BlueChilli, an organization that shares our goal of fostering a strong local startup ecosystem in Melbourne.
BlueChilli is a technology and software development company that creates online web applications and invests the software development in online start-ups.
Through this partnership, members of the BlueChilli community can apply to the program for free ($50 value), and the most extraordinary applicant from the community will be awarded the BlueChilli Fellowship, giving them the opportunity to enroll in the program for free ($799 AUD value). The recipient will be recognized as someone with the utmost potential to become a successful technology entrepreneur.
In order to be eligible for BlueChilli Fellowship for the Melbourne - Australia Spring 2026 Founder Institute, you must complete your application and admissions test by the Early Application Deadline on Jun 23, 2026, using this link.
The recipient of the Fellowship will be awarded within 5 days after the Deadline.
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.
