Victoria is 💯 the place to be as an innovator: gov commitment (@JaalaPulford), successful founders & innovators wanting to give back (eg. @morris_kate @freshjc), a strong ecosystem of founders supporting each other to scale up (eg. @SeerMedical @PearliiApp) ❤️🎉

[Kate Dinon @katedinon]

The Vic budget “sets a new bar” for gov support of tech & startups & has been broadly welcomed by leading figures in the sector. Treasurer @timpallas unveiled the state budget marking a “fundamental shift” in the state gov’s support for tech & startups.https://t.co/twnCWrcH0Z

Great news coming out of the Vic Budget. Fantastic to see the Government embrace the opportunity to supercharge the growth of the startup sector.

[Con Frantzeskos @ConFrantzeskos]

Victoria will be the home of the only startup fund of funds in Australia. Israel's startup nation was boosted by Yozma. NZ has NZVIF. Now Australia has the Victorian Startup Capital Fund. This will make the market for early-stage startup investment.
