2021 Accelerator Teams
We are thrilled to introduce you to the successful teams for this year’s Monash Generator Accelerator program!
Ten teams have been selected from over 180 quality applications, representing a diverse offering of talent, innovation, grit and capability sourced from the Monash community. The teams comprise 27 founders represented by current students, staff members, and alums of Monash.
From groundbreaking MedTech, to quick no mess tasty treats, to managing personal data and SaaS integrations, to creating a future ready workforce. Each team was selected for its commitment to making a considerable impact in their chosen field.
As with most programs since the beginning of 2020, the Accelerator Program will begin online, but we are hopeful that the cohort will be able to use The Generator’s new coworking space at Monash University, Clayton campus in due course.
The teams will hit the ground running with an induction focussing on developing good habits to help them navigate the complex path of solving problems in a commercial way. As part of the 2021 program, all founders are also supported with mindfulness and wellbeing training, a recognition of the need to have a healthy mind and body to excel as a leader.
The Accelerator Program will run over two months where founders will work on building and scaling their projects to become sustainable and impactful businesses. They are supported by Head of Startup Programs Megan Flamer, and Lead Facilitator, Pete Lead, plus a host of experienced mentors and experts in business.
