Curtin Accelerate is a free 12-week accelerator program designed for founders who have validated their idea and are ready to develop the skills and networks to build a scalable venture around their innovative product or service.

Through practical sessions, mentoring and access to experienced entrepreneurs, investors and industry experts, founders develop the skills, tools and connections to reach their first customers, strengthen their business model and go-to-market strategy, and build investment readiness.

Following a record year for Accelerate in 2026, which saw two participating ventures secure investment during the program, Accelerate 2027 will offer even greater opportunities for founders to progress their ventures, including direct access to at least $500,000 in funding through an investment process embedded within the program.

Join the Curtin Accelerate team online on Wednesday 23 September from 12pm-1pm to learn more about the program.
