Activator Connect brings you into our broader community of diverse startups offering you multiple points of engagement to help you connect, collaborate, learn, grow and give-back.

The team at Activator has fully shifted LaunchHUB program to virtual delivery.

The program has worked hard to maintain a strong sense of community and has introduced new elements enabled by selected technology stack. As restrictions scale back in the coming weeks, we will operate in line with the university’s approach as per government guidelines and will cautiously introduce relevant face-to-face offerings while adhering to social distancing guidelines.

Yes. Not only we are trying to focus on 2 impactful themes for this cohort, we’re also conscious that founders across Victoria are in need of support to thrive in the current environment so we’ve opened up this opportunity to all, even if you are not affiliated with RMIT.

Don’t worry, we won’t be doing this forever! Simply express your interest to join our next intake in 2021.

This program is free! The university is committed to developing an entrepreneurial culture and supporting enterprise development amongst the Activator community.

Selected teams are expected to dedicate at least 8-10 hours per week to program participation. Founders get the most value from the program through active participation on other sessions as well, such as attending weekly catchups with the coaches, workshops, and community events. We will be sharing the full program calendar once you are successful with your application so you can safely book the time on your own calendar.

RMIT Activator does NOT claim any IP rights in respect of idea or startup. However, RMIT staff applying for LaunchHUB need to consult with RMIT Research and Innovation given that RMIT has ownership of intellectual property created by staff members in the course of their employment.

LaunchHUB in itself is an investment from the university that is worth $218,000 in support and resources so we will not be offering cash funding. Furthermore, RMIT Activator is a significant contributor for many Victorians accelerator programs such as Startmate, Skalata, SBE E3, ASTN, Medtech Actuator, Startupbootcamp and Antler. We are also more than happy to help with our knowledge and network when you identified other funding opportunities.

Industry mentoring and community membership! Our continuous support means tapping into our pool of mentors to keep you moving forward and continuously helping you move into the next phase of your startup journey.
