Startup Fundamentals

INCUBATE’s 8-week introductory Startup Fundamentals Course – Consider it ‘Startups 101’

Kicks off 18th March, 2026.


INCUBATE’s Startup Fundamentals Course is an introduction to all things startup: fundamental frameworks, how to cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset, build out your network and refine your business idea/s. The weekly workshops assist you in learning about the startup ecosystem, building your network and advancing your ideas. Please note that this course is introductory – covering frameworks, group tasks and meet & greets with INCUBATE founders. This course is transparent about the founder journey, with a goal to build an entrepreneurial mindset, rather than grow a startup idea. If you have a startup idea you’re looking to pursue already, apply instead for our Pre-Accelerator Program.

Startup Fundamentals is open and free for The University of Sydney community – students, alumni, staff members and researchers.
