What is the Student Fellowship?
The Student Fellowship is a highly selective founder bootcamp. In just 2 weeks you’ll get hands-on experience building a startup. From generating and validating a business idea, to learning to speak to customers and ideate a product, you’ll gain a deep understanding of what startups are all about.
Meet co-founders, come up with an idea, build the first version of a product, and finish by pitching to the top VCs in Australia.
You might even get investment. Lyrebird did!
Best part? No prior experience needed.
