About the program

The Farmers2Founders GROW Pre-Accelerator is designed for early-stage innovators developing solutions for Australia’s agrifood production system. The program helps founders move their venture to the next stage of growth by focusing on real customer problems, rapid experimentation, and early traction. Across an intensive, practical schedule, participants learn how to test assumptions, map the commercial opportunity, refine their value proposition, and build evidence for product-market fit.

Sessions cover market discovery, solution design, business models, adoption barriers, funding pathways, and the unique dynamics of building technology for agriculture and food.

Founders finish with a clearer pathway to pilots, partnerships, and early customers—plus the confidence and tools to progress into accelerators, investment readiness programs, or further product development.

Ideal for first-time founders or domain experts exploring agrifood innovation.
