Overview

Startmate is a leading startup accelerator in Australia and New Zealand, dedicated to helping founders build world-class companies. Startmate offers a 12-week intensive program designed to accelerate early-stage startups by providing access to mentorship from successful entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and industry experts. The accelerator is renowned for its strong community of alumni and mentors, who actively contribute to the success of new cohorts by sharing insights, providing guidance, and opening doors to investment opportunities.

Startmate's program is unique in its commitment to backing founders at all stages, whether they are just beginning to turn their idea into a reality or are further along in their startup journey. The accelerator offers a supportive environment that challenges founders to push their boundaries, refine their business models, and scale rapidly. Startmate provides initial funding, typically ranging from AUD $75,000 to AUD $120,000, in exchange for equity, along with access to a network of investors and potential customers across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond.

A standout feature of Startmate is its emphasis on community and long-term relationships. Founders benefit not only from the structured program but also from the ongoing support and camaraderie of a network that includes some of the most successful entrepreneurs in the region. The program culminates in a Demo Day, where startups present their progress to a curated audience of investors, industry leaders, and media, providing a platform to secure further funding and partnerships.
