The Victorian Minister for Small Business today announced LaunchVic, a $60m fund aimed to accelerate the growth of Victoria’s start-up ecosystem.
“We want Victoria to be the location of choice for start-ups worldwide, and LaunchVic will make it happen. The recent moves to Victoria from leading tech companies Zendesk, GoPro and Slack show that it’s within our grasp,” he said.
“We want to work with existing organisations in the start-up ecosystem to collaborate and build together a successful start-up sector that will help boost jobs, grow private investment and exports and further strengthen Victoria’s economy.”
As part of the announcement, we were lucky enough at Collective Campus to host Minister Dalidakis as he visited several of Melbourne’s hotbeds of innovation and entrepreneurship. We’ve been home to the likes of local and international startups such as Uber, General Assembly, Zomato, Coinjar, Drawboard, Parent Paperwork, Metaverse Makeovers, Suppertime, Booktopia, Seed Digital, Jobbop,Digital Affair and industry bodies such as Startup Victoria and Startup Grind Melbourne and it was a pleasure to have some of our successes acknowledged.
