Cultivate


Our five month program to develop sustainable suppliers via individual support.

About Cultivate

Selected Bootcamp graduates with a unique, scalable proposition, plus the resources and desire to grow, may be invited to participate in Cultivate.

Cultivate is a structured part-time program, undertaken over 5 months, and is provided at no cost to participants thanks to the support from Woolworths. 

Cultivate involves:

  • Extensive business support and training on a broad range of business and more specific topics, including insights and information provided by Woolworths.
  • A combination of on-demand online learning, and live online discussions (2 hours required per month in daytime hours).
  • Extensive online Seedlab resources – the Seedlab Academy – Cultivate level.
  • Seedlab Australia also provides Masterclasses and Workshops on a wide range of topics, made available to all participants and Alumni.
  • Our one-on-one coaching and mentoring will help your business and proposition become pitch and retail-ready; on average, businesses receive over 20 hours of 1:1 mentoring during Cultivate.
  • There may also be unique opportunities to pitch to Woolworths, for example at our private Woolworths Seedlab Australia Expos, and via the Seedlab Hub.
  • After Cultivate, and if your products are ranged by Woolworths, there is an opportunity for continued support to supply well via Nurture, our ongoing support program, plus ongoing Alumni events.
