Yes! Enterprize Elevate combines world’s best practice lean startup education with best-in-class facilitators and mentors. Comparable programs around the world cost tens of thousands of dollars or take significant equity stakes in your startup – but Elevate is completely free and you keep full ownership of your idea and business. How is this possible? We are a not-for-profit, supported by government and corporate partners, which exists to advance the startup ecosystem in Tasmania. Our partners cover the cost of this program so you don’t have to.

This is a 12 week intensive + Build sprints. For the final 3 build sprints you will need to be with us here in Tasmania. Download the full info booklet above for key program dates and a breakdown of a weekly time commitments.

Activate is online only and will teach you the foundations of lean methodology. It will help you to get a start on finding an idea, testing it and setting a strong foundation for the work we will do in Elevate. Elevate is our founder focused startup incubator. Our small group of founders are hand selected to participate in a 12 week intensive working directly on their startup idea with a supportive community to help them launch.
