Win a 'Fast Pass' to the interview stage of our next Sydney program, SYD6

We’re a startup accelerator running programs in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth and help founders scale their startup smarter and faster. We're also backed by Telstra, a world-class technology company.

Applications for our next Sydney program open on 2 October and this is your chance to skip the first round of shortlisting and go straight to the interview stage.

FAQs

Does the whole team need to be there and pitch?

We’d love to meet your team, but if they can’t be there, no problem, just send along your best storyteller.

Do I need a slide deck?

No slide decks at this event, it’s just you and a microphone.

How many startups will win a "Golden Ticket"?

If there’s more than one super awesome startup pitch, we’ll consider awarding more.

How many pitches will there be on the night?

There will be a max of 60. Get in quick, so you don’t miss out!

Am I guaranteed to pitch if I'm on the waitlist?

We'd love to get through as many pitches as we can on the night. Pitch orders will be in a first in, first served basis. If we have time, we will open the stage up for our waitlist and then whoever wants to pitch from the audience.

Will the winner/s be announced on the night?

Yep, they sure will.

Does it cost anything to attend?

Nope. Zero. You’ll just need a ticket.

If I don't win a Golden Ticket, am I still eligible to apply to the SYD6 program?

Yes, of course! There's another way to make it to our interview stage. Apply online and fill out our SYD6 Application Form. We won't discount your application just because you didn't win a Golden Ticket. In fact, we'd encourage you to pitch and apply online to increase your chances.

My startup is producing dog collars, am I eligible to pitch?

That depends. If your dog collars have a tech component that solves a widespread problem, then yes. If it’s simply a bedazzled fashion item to help a pooch stand out at the park, then no. (Even though we do love fashion conscious pooches).

How do I get there?

Enter 242 Exhibition Street - Telstra Building.

Head straight up the escalators and then the wooden stairs to Level 2 (Telstra Labs).

Please let us know if you have any special access requirements.

Will I be fed?

Yes, drinks and nibbles will be provided!

Is there parking?

Unfortunately, no.
