WSU launches Ignition Startup Accelerator Program

Cohort #3 of the Ignition Startup Accelerator run by Western Sydney University Launch Pad kicked off earlier this month.

Ignition is a 10-week startup accelerator program with a focus on helping founders refine their value proposition and business model.

Launch Pad is committed to supporting the growth of the Western Sydney startup ecosystem, and the program is delivered by Western Sydney University Launch Pad’s Entrepreneurs in Residence who are experienced entrepreneurs who have ‘been there, done that’.

Ignition provides personalised coaching designed to help startups quickly establish their, honed value proposition, rapidly develop technology, access markets and scale effectively. There is a strong emphasis on a rigorous approach to problem and solution validation. Participants will exit the program ready to build their minimum viable product (MVP).

The program is flexible and delivered part-time, meaning founders are able to start their side hustle and keep their 9-5, while completing the program around other work and study commitments. Participants will have resources readily available to support startup businesses, ranging from state-of-the-art facilities and technology, student talent, and the Launch Pad network.
