Rocket Seeder: AgTech Seeds pre-accelerator program - cohort 4

Opportunity for

• Aspiring Victorian AgTech entrepreneurs
• Innovative researchers and research teams at Victorian universities and research organisations
• Farmers and producers with a great idea, looking to scale this in Australia and beyond.

Opportunity description

Industry challenge:

The aim of this program is to double the number of agtech startups in Victoria by 2024.

The program provides fledgling founders with a supportive environment in which to partner with researchers to test their ideas, upskill quickly, fail fast, develop an MVP and launch a sustainable enterprise.

Current opportunity:

Applications are now open for the AgTech Seeds pre-accelerator for February 2024.

Rocket Seeder's AgTech Seeds program is suitable for the following groups of people:

• Aspiring Victorian AgTech entrepreneurs
• Innovative researchers and research teams at Victorian universities and research organisations
• Farmers and producers with a great idea, looking to scale this in Australia and beyond!

This program will help participants build a network with others who share their passion and ambition - to build a team and launch a company to solve pressing issues in the agriculture sector.

Opportunity background:

The AgTech Seeds pre-accelerator supports creation of early-stage AgTech startups in Victoria by bringing together “hybrid” teams of aspiring AgTech entrepreneurs and researchers creating AgTech-applicable IP/know-how at Victorian universities/PFROs. It will facilitate entrepreneur-researcher matches to increase startup investability and value, and help teams validate the market for their idea and technology and engage with potential Victorian early-adopter customers (growers/producers).

The program will provide funding for teams who validate problem-solution fit and need financial support to build their MVP. The program will be sustained beyond LaunchVic funding via partnerships with early-stage venture investors and multinational AgTech companies.
