What is UTS Startups?
UTS Startups is dedicated to empowering students and alumni to pursue entrepreneurship. Since 2017 we have supported over 1500+ startups at all stages between Idea to 8-figure yearly revenue and we operate a world class incubator space that supports founder connections, networking, and inspiration.
We host numerous free events that are open to ALL students and many of our startups provide opportunities such as internships, work experience, and other opportunities to gain real life experience within a growing startup. We also deliver self-paced programs such as the Rapid Value Creation Program for students to get their first start in the world of internet and AI enabled entrepreneurship.
Discover the UTS Startups Rapid Value Creation Program (RVC)
RVC is a free online program designed to help you rapidly develop and launch your startup—no experience needed. It's an 8-week program to get you started, then an ongoing streak-and-depth journey—start taking action from Day One, keep your streak alive week after week, and go deeper as you level up. Forget slow business plans or chasing investors—RVC empowers you with mentorship, practical missions, and cutting-edge AI tools to create real value fast. Here's what RVC offers:
Mission-Driven Action Taking: Every week is a real mission, not a lecture. Publish your first income-generating experiment (Week 1), spot a real opportunity (Week 2), and make-and-publish something people can actually buy—launch an Etsy store, ship a faceless YouTube channel, or run a TikTok product hustle (Week 3)—then turn it into a product with a promise (Week 4). You build as you learn, from week one.
Pick Your Level: Total beginner or already shipping? You self-select your level and the missions meet you where you are—no one is stuck watching content that's too basic or lost in something too advanced.
Step-by-Step Rapid Creation: Master AI tools (ChatGPT, Zapier) and data-driven strategies to create and automate products quickly—from your first published offer to free-tier automation (Week 6) that runs while you sleep.
Not Your Typical Startup Program: No 50-page plans or VC pitches: RVC skips the fluff and forces market feedback early, unlocking real results that aren't pure theory. The Rapid Value Creation program turns your hustle into action. Join our information session to discover a new way to startup success!
