As Victoria’s startup agency, LaunchVic funds programs for aspiring founders, startups, and investors looking to break into the startup sector. We also run two entrepreneurship development programs in-house: CivVic Labs and 30X30.
We fund a variety of programs and networks to support development across the ecosystem, including:
We define a founder as an entrepreneur working on a technology-based startup idea. LaunchVic supports founders through pre-accelerator and accelerator programs, direct grants, and investment funds, ensuring comprehensive seed funding for startups.
Startup Programs for Investors give sophisticated investors the confidence and capability to invest in startups. LaunchVic funds angel networks and education programs for investors to catalyse more investment into Victorian startups, enhancing the availability of seed funding.
LaunchVic’s CivVic Labs program is a government startup entrepreneurship program that allows Victorian government departments and agencies to explore the state’s startup ecosystem, integrating with our broader entrepreneurship development program.
Our programs cater to every stage of the startup entrepreneur and founder journey:
Victoria has a range of entrepreneurship development programs for startup founders and entrepreneurs, including industry-specific accelerators and development courses.
Health and Enterprise Technology are Victoria’s top startup subsectors, thanks to programs like the MedTech Actuator, Startmate, Skalata Ventures, and Antler.
LaunchVic also funds sector-specific programs in ClimateTech, AI, and DisabilityTech, showcasing our commitment to diverse startup industries.
