DEADLINE: Dreamventure Masterclass Application

The Dream Venture Masterclasses is a first of its kind program that is dedicated to equipping Indigenous Australians with the connections, capabilities and access to capital to become investor-ready.

Generation One, an initiative of Minderoo Foundation, is delivering the Dream Venture Masterclasses in partnership with Youth Co:Lab — a joint initiative of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Citi Foundation — for ambitious and energetic Indigenous founders.

Dream Venture Masterclass participants will learn key strategies to raise capital and become investor-ready, meet like-minded Indigenous entrepreneurs, investors, and business leaders and understand how to grow a sustainable business that balances social and economic returns.

The 2022 Dream Venture Masterclasses will be delivered in 2 streams.

The Youth program is open to entrepreneurs aged between 18-30 and is delivered in partnership with Youth Co:Lab, an initiative co-led by UNDP and Citi Foundation.

The ‘All-Ages’ program is open to all Indigenous entrepreneurs seeking to grow their business and secure investment.

All participants will pitch their business vision and be in the running for up to $150,000 worth of seed funding to support their business growth.

This program is free and will provide successful applicants with the skills and connections to seek capital and take their company to the next level.
