National Startup Championship 2024 for kids and youth

Welcome to the MINIBOSS National Startup Championship 2024!

The National Startup Championship is the highlight of the MiniBoss academic year, providing students with an extraordinary platform to pitch their businesses to an esteemed panel of judges—featuring seasoned entrepreneurs, business leaders, and government representatives.

This year, in addition to MiniBoss students, we invite school-aged children from across Australia to present their businesses, showcasing the country’s brightest young entrepreneurs on a national stage.

Judges will assess each presentation, evaluating creativity, feasibility, and overall quality. This competition challenges students to demonstrate their business knowledge, creativity, problem-solving skills, and resilience. The experience gained from competing at this level is transformative, as students refine their ideas, build confidence, and develop the skills necessary to excel as future leaders and innovators.

The MiniBoss winners of this competition will claim the title of the National Startup Champions 2024 and go on to represent Australia in the international Startup World Cup Championship in July 2025. This event serves as a vital stepping stone for students aspiring to compete internationally.
