the IDEATOR is a huge 27 hour hackathon where attendees can tap into the essentials to build a start-up: mentorship, cofounders, training, resources and funding. You will be asked to produce project that match one of the three core tracks: Life Science, Small Business & Social Entrepreneurship or Monash Challenge. Any type of participants regardless of sector or technical knowledge is welcome. There will be coaches and mentors circling. There will be stations to help bring your idea to life, from rapid prototyping to legal, and market intelligence to business model. There will be workshops to help teams understand how to position their idea within the market landscape and refine their pitch. The top three teams from each track will get $500*, 6 months free office space in the GENERATOR’s incubator, INNOVATION ALLEY, automatic entry into Round 2 of the GENERATOR’s PITCH ORIGINATOR competition, and eligibility to apply for an additional $500 follow-on funding within 12 months of the hackathon. Whether you want to spark a new idea or refine an existing one, whether you’re a ‘hacker’ or not – there is a valuable role for you to play!
