Sponsor the future of ANZ innovation

Entry into all Startmate programs comes at a cost, but we balance this with a strong focus on accessibility through the Startmate Scholarship Fund. That’s how 30% of our program spots are reserved for participants on community-funded scholarships, sponsored by the likes of Tattarang, Minderoo and Canva in the past. As a sponsor, you’ll help aspiring founders – students, women and others from underserved backgrounds – take their next step and contribute to the future of the startup ecosystem.
