Sydney Genesis – discovering Australia’s next generation of entrepreneurs

A HOME and life management service; a smart phone app connecting healthcare providers and patients and an app that helps the user lose weight are all good ideas but would they make it in the real world?

An ability to apply theory to a “real-world” environment will be a key consideration when Australia’s leading entrepreneurs gather tomorrow (Thursday 28th) to judge the University of Sydney’s first semester Genesis startup program.

Genesis is a pre-incubator program designed to helping students bring their business ideas to life through workshops, mentoring, networking, funding and prizes provided by sponsors Servcorp, Meteorical and Inspiring Rare Birds.

More than 30 teams enrolled in this year’s first semester program. The seven finalists teams will be given five minutes pitch their ideas to the judging panel. Prizes will be awarded in the categories of “Most Disruptive Enterprise” and the “Best Business Plan”.
