FoundersHack Sydney 2026

About the challenge

FoundersHack is an inter-university hackathon designed to give students a hands-on introduction to startups and Australia’s dynamic startup ecosystem. Over three immersive days, participants collaborate with top students from across the country, develop technical prototypes to tackle real-world challenges, and gain mentorship from experienced founders and industry professionals.

With dedicated mentorship and a high-energy Pitch Night, FoundersHack provides the perfect platform to refine ideas, receive expert feedback, and build a strong entrepreneurial network. Finalist teams will showcase their solutions to venture capitalists and startup leaders, competing for cash prizes and exclusive growth sessions.
