Mentoring the Next Wave of Entrepreneurs at FORWARD

Shtudio’s director, Alex, is stepping into a mentor role at FORWARD, a two-week sprint program designed to help early-stage founders move from endless planning into action. The initiative is built to support those ready to test ideas, push forward an MVP, or simply get unstuck, with guidance from experienced builders and product minds.

For Alex, it’s a return to familiar ground. Shtudio’s early years were spent working alongside startups at this stage of the journey, some of which went on to grow, scale, and even be acquired. Bringing that experience back into a mentoring environment is an exciting way to give back to the next wave of founders.

The program kicks off in Sydney on 9 August before moving online, making it accessible to founders wherever they’re based. For anyone sitting on an idea or chasing sharper momentum with their project, FORWARD could be just the push to get things moving.
