๐Ÿ” Techstars Sydney Build Challenge: Find the Hidden Founders

Sign up by: May 26 (midnight AEST)
Submit by: June 7

Some of the best founders are hidden in plain sight. Theyโ€™re not posting on LinkedIn โ€” theyโ€™re heads down building. Theyโ€™re scale-up veterans whose options are vesting. Migrants building quiet empires. PhD researchers with IP ready to spin out.

We want you to help us find and map them.


๐Ÿง  The Challenge

Build a searchable database of under-the-radar founder talent. Your product should help surface high-potential current and future founders across Australia.

Must include fields for:

  • Name

  • LinkedIn

  • City

  • Startup name (if applicable)

  • Tags (e.g. โ€œscale-up alum,โ€ โ€œside project builder,โ€ โ€œPhD researcher,โ€ โ€œmigrant founderโ€)

  • Diversity measures:

    • Required: Gender, Ethnicity

    • Optional: LGBTQI+, Neurodivergent, Age, Migrant status


๐Ÿ”Ž Suggested Data Sources

You're free to be creative, but here are a few to start:

  • LinkedIn (roles, career trajectories, side project links)

  • Community groups (Slack/Discords, meetup lists, university clubs)

  • Crunchbase (stealth startups, early stage company staff)

  • University and research websites

  • Founder Twitter/X, Product Hunt, GitHub

You can scrape, research, or crowdsource โ€” as long as the end product is insightful and usable.


๐Ÿง‘โ€โš–๏ธ Judging

Projects will be judged by the Techstars team based on:

  • Data insight and quality

  • Filterable, usable UX

  • Creativity in uncovering non-obvious talent

    • US$120k investment + 13-week in-person program

  • ๐Ÿ’ผ 3 x warm intros to top VCs if you're looking to spin this into a startup

  • ๐Ÿงข Bonus perks from our sponsor pool:

    • Cloud credits

    • Discounted co-working space memberships

    • Free subscriptions to AI tools

    • Strategy sessions


๐Ÿง  Prompt Inspiration

  • PhD close to finishing, researching AI, bio, or deeptech

  • SMB operator now launching SaaS tools

  • Hackathon winners not yet โ€œin the ecosystemโ€
