Creative Destruction Lab Melbourne

Run by Creative Destruction Lab.

Melbourne carries Creative Destruction Lab's Australian site, working to the same nine-month September-to-June calendar as the rest of the network, with five full-day objective-setting Sessions every eight weeks and a hybrid format. No money is guaranteed: CDL does not fund entering ventures itself, leaving any investment to mentors and funds in the network. Participation is free of both fees and equity, as the organisation is a non-profit. Deeptech and AI alongside generalist applicants.
