What is Launchpad Academy?

Are you a hustling entrepreneur dreaming of running your own business? Are you a community leader, passionate to make a positive impact for people and the planet? Are you obsessed with cutting-edge technology and curios how to apply it to the real world? Or do you just simply have a funky, creative project that guarantees to wow everyone?

Do you think your ideas worth $10,000? There’s only one way to find out: Join Launchpad Academy, a three-month long incubator program for FREE (only available for currently enrolled students at Murdoch University).

At Launchpad we believe dreams do come true if you work hard enough and have access to the right support. That’s why LP Academy provides you with masterclasses and mentorships from top industry experts in startup, business, tech, and leadership. We also connect participants to a cohort of highly motivated and ambitious individuals, and cultivate valuable, life-long professional networks. But wait, there’s more: We will cherry-pick the creme-de-la-creme of 6-8 finalists for a pitching competition called PITCHFEST – where you have a once-in-a-life-time opportunity to pitch in front of over 100 guests from startup & investor community and win a grand prize of $10,000.

What are you waiting for? It’s time to challenge yourself, let your entrepreneurial spirit runs free and shape the world how YOU want it!

How much time will the Academy take?

This is up to you. The Academy Program has around 40 hours of commitment over Semester two (or more, depending on you). You will need to commit to attending the in-person sessions, completing the online modules and working with your team and mentor to develop your ideas.
