Turbo Traction Lab is supported by funding from the Australian Government under its Entrepreneurs’ Programme

So what is this program all about?

Turbo-Traction Lab is a hands-on program designed to build a modern business in 80 days. The Australian Government, in conjunction with Capital[b] Pty Ltd and Rockhampton Regional Council, is funding this stage-specific incubator program designed to allow both full-time and part-time founders to bootstrap their business. Founders have an opportunity to gain significant traction in their global market with hands-on assistance from world class experts in residence.

Sounds exciting.Tell me more!

The Turbo-Traction Lab is not a standard presentation style program. Rather, it is a hands-on workshop style program delivered with a ‘lab’ mindset. Participants in intimate groups of 25 to 45 startups will be lead by Daniel Johnsen, founder of Shakespot, and given practical guidance and assistance from a number of world class subject experts, including:

• Phil Martin | Director, Bitplex; Founder, Gameplan• Chris Lorang | CEO, Moonsure• Tamara Loehr | Director, AussieWeb• Marni McGrath | Principal, Evans Edwards and Associates• Shaun Restorick-Barton | Associate, Law Squared• Dean Dobson | Founder, Sensavation; Co-Founder, Buildvation• Elize Hattin | Founder & Super Coach

How much time will I need to invest?

Full-time startups will complete the 10 module program (LAB) over a 4 month period, whilst part-timers will undertake the program over an 18 month period. Each module is an immersive, whole day business building workshop in which experts contribute to the founders’ startup strategy and offer support with execution.

It is expected that upon the successful completion of this incubator program, startups will have significant market traction and be generating enough revenue to fuel the ongoing growth of their business.

As a fitting conclusion to the program, a selection of participants from the program will have the opportunity to travel to the USA for a week to experience the global marketplace, as well as meet startups and potential customers.
