LaunchVic's strategy focuses on strengthening Victoria's startup ecosystem by funding program providers to set up in the state and supporting local founders across the startup lifecycle — from starting through to growth and scale. Its 2024-2028 strategy centers on grant-based, non-dilutive support aimed at building startup capability within Victoria rather than making direct equity investments.
