Techstars Sydney Build Challenge: Find the Hidden Founders

🔍 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. They’re not posting on LinkedIn — they’re heads down building. They’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.


🧠 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. “scale-up alum,” “side project builder,” “PhD researcher,” “migrant founder”)

  • Diversity measures:

    • Required: Gender, Ethnicity

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


🔎 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 — as long as the end product is insightful and usable.


🧑‍⚖️ Judging

Projects will be judged by the Techstars team based on:

  • Data insight and quality

  • Filterable, usable UX

  • Creativity in uncovering non-obvious talent


🏆 What You Can Win

Major prize: $2K prize pool ($1.5K first, $500 second)

  • 🚀 Fast-tracked interview to the Techstars Sydney Accelerator

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

  • 💼 3 x warm intros to top VCs if you're looking to spin this into a startup

  • 🧢 Bonus perks from our sponsor pool:

    • Cloud credits

    • Discounted co-working space memberships

    • Free subscriptions to AI tools

    • Strategy sessions


🧠 Prompt Inspiration

Think:

  • 4-year scale-up engineer ready to jump

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

  • SMB operator now launching SaaS tools

  • Hackathon winners not yet “in the ecosystem”

  • Migrant entrepreneurs running businesses under the radar


👉 How to Join

  • Register your interest by May 26

  • Submit your entry by June 5

  • Solo or teams welcome

  • Open to all Australia-based builders

Let’s uncover the next wave of builders — before they’re headlines.
