About
We exist so students stop waiting for permission to build.
StartUp Link USYD is the University of Sydney's student entrepreneurship society. We run hackathons, workshops and founder nights that turn half-formed ideas into shipped products — no prior startup experience required, no pitch deck necessary.
Membership
