25.01.2022 Did you know there are 300+ accessible programs (and counting) for Aussie startups? This week, we’re introducing a member of the start-up community, Euwyn and his passion project, Sailist (sailist.co) Fun fact: Euwyn was the MEC president in 2018! Read on to find out more about what Sailist does: For the last couple of years, I've noticed how the Australian startup scene has rapidly grown. Now there are dozens-hundreds of accelerators, incubators, co-working spaces, ...VCs and micro VCs, and angel groups scattered all across the country. Australia is now the 5th most startup-friendly country in the entire world. But, there isn't a great way for a founder to navigate the ecosystem and resources available to them. So I decided to build it from the ground up. Sailist is my attempt to curate all of Australia's startup support ecosystem, so founders can be armed with an up-to-date directory for all the Australian programs, funding and resources to access.

22.01.2022 21 Days of Coding for Entrepreneurs You may already know the many advantages that come with knowing how to code. But did you know that coding is no longer just for the geekiest of geeks or the smartest in the bunch? Actually, everyone can learn how to code and reap the benefits! Yes, this all sounds very exciting and yet you may feel as though the first step towards learning how to code is daunting and foreign (it is another language, afterall). This is why the Monash Entre...preneurship Portfolio and their Student Rep Committee are thrilled to invite you to join them for this special *free* coding program: 21 Days of Coding for Entrepreneurs. Over 21 days you will learn the basics of Python coding with ease, fun, guidance and peer support. If this sounds like your kind of thing, then we can't wait to meet you! Register your spot now - limited places available! https://docs.google.com//1FAIpQLSf4krVbEsNnFQVEfl/viewform * Applications close 22nd September. *

22.01.2022 Hello everyone, As you all know, COVID-19 is currently ravaging the planet as WHO declared it a pandemic on March 11th, 2020. Here in Victoria, we're seeing that as life as we know it is changed drastically to accomodate the preventative measures as health professionals attempt to slow down and hopefully, stop the spread of the coronavirus. Although we're all getting used to changes in our university life, our heroes in healthcare who are battling this virus on the front-li...ne are tremendously overworked. Oftentimes, not knowing when the next meal is going to come. Alex Makes Meals is a newly-formed social organisation aimed towards feeding the doctors, nurses, and other health providers who do not have time to cook their own meals during this global battle. If you or anyone you know has an interest in assisting, please reach out to page for further assistance. Attached below is the fundraising page, for if you want to help but genuinely do not have the resources to do so. Now social distance yourself to fight this damn virus! https://www.gofundme.com/f/alex-makes-meals

03.01.2022 "Some other accelerators might offer you sweet cash money but take a piece of your startup in return. Or they might want to take part of that money back to cover the expenses of the program. But at The Generator, the $10,000 per team is for you to use to accelerate the progress of your startup, no strings attached."

03.01.2022 Hope everyone is doing in isolation! If you're looking for a dose of inspiration, do check out the following event held by our friends at The Generator.

02.01.2022 Dear friends, In line with the government and university’s policies, MEC as a MONSU Club will have to cancel all events from now till the 31st of May. This includes O-fest and any other club activities throughout the semester, as all such events include much physical social interaction. Since yesterday, most of you might also have received news on the recommencement of our in-person classes, online. The MEC Committee has been working hard and enthusiastically to bring you... amazing, well-planned events this semester, so it does pain us to not be able to hold them. With that said, while we are rather bummed about the recent developments, we are in complete agreement with the actions of the university and MONSU. It’ll definitely be more meaningful to attend any events with a peace of mind and feeling safe. So, do not fret, our committee will regroup and think about how to continue to engage you through online means. And bounce back for a wonderful sem 2! Meanwhile, stay safe, be responsible and be kind! The MEC Team See more
