Melbourne Accelerator Program

In 2023, we're investing in 11 of Australia’s most outstanding startups, equipping them with $20,000 equity-free funding, inner-city office space, and access to Australia’s best business minds to help them accelerate their growth. MAP also offers a range of additional programs and events to the broader startup ecosystem, including the MAP Velocity Program (a part-time program for early-stage founders), the Melbourne Entrepreneurial Centre Fireside Chat and Masterclass series, and a range of events and festivals in collaboration with our precinct partner, Melbourne Connect. The Melbourne Accelerator Program is committed to fostering an environment focused on diversity, inclusion, collaboration, and impact, and is one of the only accelerator programs to have had a full-time social impact manager.
