2022 MAP Velocity Showcase

Join the Melbourne Entrepreneurial Centre (MEC) on Wednesday 8 June in the Forum at Melbourne Connect as they celebrate the next generation of early stage founders from the first of two 2022 Velocity programs, MAP’s highly sought-after pre-accelerator program.

Velocity is a 10-week program for early-stage founders, focused on customer discovery and market validation. With the support of LaunchVic, MAP is running two Velocity programs in 2022. The digital-only cohort has allowed founders to participate in the program wherever they might be located in Victoria.

For the past 3 months, the MAP22 Velocity program has supported 33 founders from 26 startups who have taken part in a series of immersive workshops. They’ve worked hard to take the next steps to realising their startup goals with the expert assistance of the MAP team.

On the night, we’ll hear from 10 standout founders who have completed Velocity about how their businesses have evolved and where they’re headed next.
