Meet the 2023 Accelerator founders!

The Generator, Monash University
3 min readAug 16, 2023

Say hello to the next generation of founders from the Monash community.

The Accelerator is Monash University’s flagship program designed to challenge and nurture the most promising and talented founders, assisting them in scaling their startups.

Every year, we carefully select 10 high-potential early-stage ventures spanning various sectors to take part in a rigorous 12-week accelerator program, designed for rapid advancement and scaling. Participants will learn from experts, mentors and Entrepreneurs-in-Residence, who will help them refine and rigorously test their startup models.

To date, the Accelerator has provided support to over 100 founders, including Monash students, staff, and alumni. Notable success stories include Additive Assurance, Ally Assist, Dillicious, Merry People, Mindset Health, The Dough Co, and Pory.

Our 2023 cohort of change-makers represents the diversity and talent in the Monash community and are at the forefront of innovation in fields such as edtech, medtech, AI, drug discovery, mobility, energy, fintech, e-commerce, HR tech, as well as food and beverage.

Join us in welcoming our founders, we can’t wait to see them scale to success and pitch their stuff at the Generator Showcase in October (sign up to our newsletter to find out how you can attend)!
