30X30 Talent Australia’s leading scaleup program set to create 30 tech unicorns by 2030. Each year, LaunchVic’s 30X30 selects up to 10 of Victoria’s fastest growing scaleups to participate in a bespoke, equity-free executive education program. The program provides founders and C-suite leaders in the areas of Operations, Finance and HR with the confidence and capability to manage the challenges that come with fast growth. 30X30 alumni have raised over $165 million Building a business from zero to seven or eight million is a different kettle of fish to building one from eight to $20 million dollars. We needed the expertise and experience that the 30X30 program provided to help us make decisions in the best way possible for that phase of growth. Omar de Silva, Co-Founder, FourthRev It has really been a game changer for JET Charge – the quality of mentors as well as the quality of the material was so valuable and immediately applicable to our business. Ellen Liang, Co-Founder, JetCharge We were fortunate to be selected in the inaugural 30X30 cohort, which played a pivotal role in helping increase the capabilities of our HR, Finance and Operations leaders. We recently raised our Series B to drive our international expansion and product development, and these leaders were instrumental in both that and our growth story.

Submit CONNECT WITH MENTORS FROM I’ve been in the trenches building startups that became unicorns. It can be a brutal journey if you do it alone. 30X30 has undoubtedly been one of the best platforms for me to mentor execs that are about to embark on that same scaling journey. If you are a HR or Ops leader that is facing scaling challenges you should demand that your founders apply to 30X30.
