The Diversity & Inclusion program is designed for people who have recently migrated to the northern beaches and for who English is a second language. We’re searching for the most ambitious, game-changing enterprises led by migrants and refugees in the northern beaches.

Note: this program is only available when the entire program is sponsored by government or private sponsor.

The D&I program operates over 12 months in three stages:

The startups we select go through a 6 day accelerator where their business models are validated and they are equipped with the tools they need to turn their startups into viable ventures.

The format is face-to-face workshops in our Seaforth Community Centre location followed by access to up to 12 months of support.

Fees: the goal is to have the program sponsored so no fees are charged.

Accelerator workshop agenda:

Day 1 - validate problem

Day 2 - validate customer persona

Day 3 - solution design - first pitch

Day 4 - develop business model hyphotheses

Day 5 - identify and talk to early adopters - second pitch

Day 6 - demo day - present the final pitch deck to a panel of judges

Support:

Monthly half-day workshops and optional telephone/email support over the 12 months following the Accelerator.

Grow:

Use our SEVENmile mentors and community to support ongoing growth.
