Start Club is now in its second year running and we are SUPER excited to announce the successful applicants for this year’s program. It’s a diverse group of startups from the Gold Coast targeting various markets, but the underlining theme is the same.
They have a well-defined problem and are on a mission to solve it.
Kicking us off, we had Paul McCarty founder of SecureStack for the first workshop on Customer Discovery✅. In week 3 we had Kirk Reynoldson founder of Eggy leading a session on Launching an MVP✅. This week we have Jason Atkins co-founder of Cake Equity running a session on Raising Capital✅. Then last but not least we have Pitch Preparation with program director, Dren Xerxa from Cohort Innovation Space✅.
Big thank you to our mentors for making the magic happen and always supporting new Gold Coast founders.
To conclude the workshops of the mini-accelerator, the startups will finish off by pitching to the Gold Coast community for the 2022 Startup Grind Pitch Battle. More details below!
