🇦🇺 🚀 Founders Factory is launching in Australia
Today, we’re delighted to announce the launch of two new accelerator programs in partnership with
@WAGovernment, and one of the world’s largest mining companies,
@RioTinto . Across both partnerships, we’ll be investing AUS$21.6M into more than 70 startups over the next three years.
Operating from Perth, we’ll be backing founders locally and internationally across a number of sectors:
⭐️ With the WA Government, we’re investing in the decarbonisation and diversification of WA's economy, with a particular focus on nature and biodiversity
⭐️ With Rio Tinto, we’re investing in the future of mining, looking for technologies in the fields of safe mine operations, decarbonisation, exploration processing, and automation
Startups participating in the 4-month programs will receive capital, operational support across strategy, regulatory advice, data science, commercialisation, fundraising, and technological-readiness, as well as links to strategic partners and testing grounds.
Stay tuned for more information in the coming days around specific investment themes as well as opportunities to join our team in Australia.
