UNSW is one of Australia's and the world's top universities, and has a number of incredible programs, of which the Founders programs are of particular note.
The Founders 10x Accelerator program is billed by UNSW as its "flagship industry-agnostic accelerator, tailored for high-potential startups who are founded by current UNSW students, staff or alumni".
We're told UNSW runs "two programs a year which consist of 10 weeks intensive programming and 6 months incubation", and that it accepts "up to 10 start-ups per cohort".
