Ideas are easy and your friends and family love them (if they love you, that is). But standing up in front of a crowd of strangers, a few judges and sharing your dream, that's winter solstice swim kind of crazy. And that's exactly why you should do it!

This event is being organised by the Startup Tasmania committee and we are still seeking sponsors. Can your business offer cash or in-kind (prizes or event support)? You will receive amazing reach and visibility into Tasmanian's most innovative and progressive business community. Get in touch now by emailing

GovHack Hackathon
29-31 July

GovHack will be returning to Tasmania again this year with events to be held in Hobart and Launceston. State level sponsorship is looking great from the big end of town. But there is still an amazing opportunity for small sponsors to align their brands with this great event. Don't miss your chance, learn more here. 

You'd like to volunteer? So glad you said so. GovHack is always a massive event and we would really appreciate the support of people who can assist managing & staffing the event. Many hands make light work so please register your amazing genorsity here. Even if you are only available for a couple of hours on that weekend. Every bit helps.

Not enough for you?

You can do that in the Startup Tasmania Community (over 250 members) on Facebook, the #StartupTAS hashtag on Twitter or Startup Tasmania group (over 700 members) on LinkedIn.
