Flexible Learning That Fits Your Schedule

We get it — you're juggling a million things. That's why our programs are designed around real startup life, not academic schedules.

  • Evening workshops that don't clash with your day job
  • Weekend intensive sessions for deep dives
  • Online modules you can tackle at 2am if that's when you're productive
  • Flexible pacing — some finish in 6 months, others take a year
  • Real case studies from Australian startups you've heard of

Learn From People Who've Actually Done It

Our instructors aren't just academics with textbook knowledge. They're founders who've raised Series A rounds, CFOs who've taken companies public, and investors who've seen hundreds of pitch decks.

Last year, we had Kerryn Goldberg from Melbourne's fintech scene walk us through exactly how she structured her first fundraising round. Students got to see the actual term sheets and understand the decisions behind each clause.

The beauty of learning finance from practitioners is that you get the messy reality alongside the theory. You'll learn why certain financial models look great on paper but fall apart in practice — and more importantly, how to build ones that actually work.

Zara Chen-Williams

Lead Program Coordinator

The best financial strategies come from understanding both the numbers and the human side of business. We teach both.

Choose Your Learning Style

Whether you're a visual learner who needs whiteboards or prefer working through problems solo, we've got options that actually work for different brains.

Hands-On Workshops

Build financial models in real-time with guidance from experienced practitioners. No death-by-PowerPoint here.

Personal Strategy Sessions

Work directly with mentors on your specific challenges. Bring your actual P&L and get real feedback.
