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 $123 billion startup ecosystem, integrating with our broader entrepreneurship development program.
Our programs cater to every stage of the startup entrepreneur and founder journey:
