About
FoundersHack is a first-of-its-kind, inter-university hackathon designed to give students a practical introduction to startups. Across three days, teams of students from Australia’s three largest universities build & pitch a software prototype addressing a real-world challenge. This immersive experience connects students with seasoned founders, student entrepreneurs, startup operators and entrepreneurially-minded peers.
FoundersHack is hosted by NextGen Ventures, and the largest technology university clubs across Victoria's top 3 universities: WIRED (Monash), DSCubed (UniMelb) and CSIT (RMIT).
