UNSW 10x Accelerator

Applications are now open for UNSW’s 10x Accelerator Program.

The 10x Accelerator programs (Health, Climate, and All Industries) help founders grow and become investment and impact-ready.

Startups will receive seed funding and 10 weeks of accelerated learning from experts and mentors.

The 10-week intensive program is tailored to equip founders with the essential skills required to build successful businesses. UNSW go beyond the basics. They delve into the complexities of growing a business and becoming investment-ready. Founders emerge not just with knowledge, but with a robust, actionable strategy for success.

The Founders 10x Accelerator is our flagship program, tailored for high-potential tech-enabled startups.

The Accelerator has five streams:

All Industries (10x)*: tailored for high-potential tech-enabled startups from any industry.

Health (H10x): run in partnership with The George Institute for Global Health, for teams developing affordable and scalable solutions to some of the most pressing unmet medical needs, globally.

Climate (C10x): if your startup helps Australia and the world transition to sustainable recycling and clean energy solutions and systems.

Health & Climate are open to ANY Australian startup (no UNSW affiliation required)

*All Industries (10x) open to startups with at least one founder who is a UNSW student, staff, or alumni.

The program is operated in two phases: Pre X program (4 weeks) and Accelerator (10 weeks). Fifteen teams per stream will be accepted into the Pre X program which is recommended but not compulsory for participation in the Accelerator. Each 10x stream takes 6 startups onto the Accelerator program both from external applications and Pre X startups that have applied to participate in the 10x Accelerator
