Got a great idea for addressing social or environmental problems? Apply for the first ever Unreasonable Lab Australia, running 7-11 November 2016 in Melbourne.
The Unreasonable Lab is a 5-day accelerator for early- or idea-stage social innovations.
Learn the steps to turn your idea into a service or social venture – whether user-pays or donor-funded. Gain insight and guidance from business and social innovation mentors. We accept applications from social entrepreneurs or innovative teams working inside existing social service organisations. Accelerate your solution with this 5-day business model validation lab.
This program encourages both entrepreneurs and ‘intrapreneurs’ to apply, as well as existing social enterprises. Intrapreneurs are people working within social sector organisations and developing solutions that may require government or philanthropic funding.
