National Startup Championship 2025 for kids and youth

Welcome to the MiniBoss National Startup Championship 2025, where young entrepreneurs bring their ideas to life.

The National Startup Championship is the highlight of the MiniBoss academic year. It's a celebration of innovation, courage, and creativity. Here, Australia’s youngest entrepreneurs take the stage to present the real businesses they have created and launched during the year.

Students will showcase their products, brands, and achievements before an esteemed panel of entrepreneurs, investors, and business leaders, who will evaluate their work based on global startup criteria — creativity, feasibility, innovation, presentation, and impact.

This event is more than a competition. It’s a transformative experience that builds confidence, communication, and leadership skills, inspiring every student to think bigger and aim higher.

🌟 Why attend:
Come and see what happens when kids are given the tools and mindset to build real businesses. Watch them pitch, persuade, and perform, not just as students, but as the next generation of Australian entrepreneurs.

🏅 Winning teams will be crowned National Startup Champions 2025 and will represent Australia at the Startup World Cup Championship in July 2026.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or business leader, you’ll leave inspired by what’s possible when education meets entrepreneurship.

MiniBoss Business School is the world’s first and only international business school network for children aged 6–17.
At MiniBoss, students don’t just learn about entrepreneurship, they live it.

The program combines theory with real-world practice, guiding students as they design, launch, and manage their own startups. Through hands-on experience, they learn how to identify problems, develop creative solutions, build teams, and deliver value to real customers.

Our mission is to unlock every child’s full potential by developing eight key intelligences (8Q): intellectual, emotional, physical, creative, teaching, managerial, entrepreneurial, and social. These form the foundation for lifelong success — in business and beyond.
