New around here? Curious to know what MAP Launch is?

First off, welcome! It's great to have you stumble across our event page.

MAP, short for Melbourne Accelerator Program, is the University of Melbourne's renowned accelerator initiative. Each year, we handpick 10 of Australia's most high-performing and ambitious startups to join our Accelerator. But here's the kicker: MAP isn't your run-of-the-mill accelerator. We offer our founders alternative and unmatched experiences, fostering an entrepreneurial mindset, promoting accountability, and integrating them into a startup community like no other.

MAP Launch marks the beginning of our Accelerator's annual journey, serving as the grand debut for our fresh batch of 10 startups before they dive into their intensive five month program.

Get inspired, build new connections, and enjoy the vibes that our 2024 MAP Launch is set to bring.

Please note

This is an 18+ event. Please remember to bring the relevant ID.

Melbourne Accelerator Program

Melbourne Accelerator Program (MAP) was launched in 2012, as the first University-aligned startup accelerator in Australia. Our Accelerator has since supported over 100 startups, who have raised over $250 million in funding, generated over $250 million in revenue, and created over 1500 new jobs.

Each year 11 teams are selected to take part in the five-month startup Accelerator, where they receive mentoring from some of Australia’s most brilliant business minds, as well as access to a global network of advisors, channel partners and investors, and $20,000 in funding (with no equity taken) to help them accelerate their startup growth.

MAP is committed to fostering a high-performing environment focused on Mindset, Accountability and People.

We offer a range of programs and support inatives which you can check out on our website: https://www.themap.co/
