Investment thesis
LaunchVic works to strengthen Victoria's startup sector by raising awareness and advocacy through events and campaigns, and by helping founders start, grow, and scale globally. Its 2024-2028 priorities include developing the private early-stage investor landscape via investor education, angel networks, and early-stage VC funds. The organization runs targeted grant rounds, its 30X30 program, and CivVic Labs, while introducing new initiatives such as partnering with Victorian universities to boost startup creation and Basecamp, a program launching in February to help seed to Series A founders make their first executive hires.
