Meet the 2019 Accelerator Cohort
We are excited to welcome our 2019 cohort of startups into the Accelerator Program run by the Generator – Monash University’s central startup hub.
This year, 11 teams have been selected from over 150 applications, and represent the diversity of innovations and game-changing ideas emerging from the Monash community. The teams are made up of 20 Founders represented by current students, PhD researchers, and Alumni of Monash. From Internet of Things enabled devices to 3D printed knee braces and renewable energy micro-investment, each startup was selected for their commitment to creating change in the world.
The first week kicked off with a two-day induction focussed on developing good habits to help them navigate the complex path of solving problems in a commercial way. As part of the 2019 program, all Founders are also supported by a Wellbeing Coach, a recognition of the need to have a healthy mind and body to be able to start a startup.
The Accelerator Program will run over three months where Founders will work on building their startup to become sustainable and viable businesses. They are supported by experienced mentors, other Founders, and experts in business.
Without further adieu, meet the 2019 Generator Accelerator Cohort:
