Basecamp Program
Boomerang Labs' Basecamp Program focuses on turning individuals into entrepreneurs. We'll set you up with the foundations you'll need to launch a circular economy startup.
Our six week program
  • Module 1: Entrepreneurship and Ideation
    In the first session, we'll go over what the entrepreneurial journey looks like and show you how to go about coming up with ideas.
  • Module 4: Customer research
    It's important to filter out the best ideas and test your assumptions by conducting effective customer research.
  • Module 2: Circular economy overview
    We'll delve into the circular economy market to lay the foundations for coming up with a killer startup idea.
  • Module 5: Crafting a value proposition
    We'll show you how to use customer research to hone in on the core component of your business model.
  • Module 3: Landing on an idea to take forward
    Need some ideas? In this module we'll highlight trends and areas that are ripe for disruption.
  • Module 6: Next steps
    In the last session, we'll help you plot out a plan for launching your circular economy startup, including identifying immediate next steps.
What we're looking for
During the selection process, we will assess your application against three key areas.
  • Skill
    Do you have problem-solving capabilities or a specific skill/experience that you can leverage to create a unique offering?
  • Spirit
    Are you driven, persistent, disciplined, comfortable with ambiguity and not afraid to take calculated risks?
  • Hustle
    Can you find a way to get something done in an unconventional way? Could you convince someone to trial your product for the first time?
Boomerang Labs' 2024 Basecamp was proudly supported by the City of Melbourne.
In 2024, thanks to support from the City of Melbourne, we ran Basecamp for founders in Melbourne and surrounding areas at no cost to participants. Over six weeks, participants developed circular economy startups, culminating in a showcase event on 20 November.
