IBA business development accelerator program for Indigenous entrepreneurs
Indigenous Business Australia (IBA) is teaming up with Investible to pilot a business development accelerator program for Indigenous entrepreneurs. This intensive eight week start-up program is an opportunity to learn from world experts with access to investors, mentors and coaches and will provide participants with the support, capital and networks they need to thrive in developing and realising their visions.
IBA is looking for high potential Indigenous entrepreneurs with innovative and scalable business ideas who are interested in being considered for a place in this eight week intensive Lab program in Sydney (start date mid-July 2017). IBA will pay all program fees, return airfares and accommodation.
This program connects and develops talent through online learning, workshops, mentoring, coaching and pitch opportunities. Through weekly milestones, participants will emerge from the eight weeks with three key outputs: a winning pitch suite, investor deck and a validated Business Model Blueprint. The foundations of the program are developing a business with desirability, feasibility and viability at its core.
