FAQ

Almost any and all! We are tech-agnostic and industry-agnostic! So, the world is your oyster. 

This program have been designed for tech startups (but don’t let that scare you or hold you off! You don’t need to be technical to start a tech startup!) This is just to say, that service or consulting-style businesses are less suited to the program and will therefore not be prioritised in selections. 

* Reminder that a non-technical background or having little to no-experience in technology or startups will not hinder your application. We’re here to give you a leg in (and up!), so don’t hold yourself back. We’ve got plenty of mentors, resources and tools that can help you navigate tech as a non-technical founder.

The program runs over 4 weeks, with one session each week. Yes, you can fully participate online, making it easy to join from anywhere!

Yes, co-founders are welcome to join the program alongside you. 

The program is free for Fishburners Sydney members! For non-members, the cost is $2000 + GST.
