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 11 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.

The MAP Launch marks the beginning of our Accelerator's annual journey, serving as the grand debut for our fresh batch of 11 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.

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

Tickets are essential (we sold out last year FYI). Please book early to avoid disappointment.

Shout out to Melbourne Climate Futures for sponsoring the 11th spot in our 2024 cohort for the third year running (supporting a startup who is helping solve the climate crisis) and City of Melbourne for supporting this event.
