Overview
Victoria's state startup agency, set up in 2016 to build founder skills, help startups scale and develop early-stage private investment. It funds accelerator and pre-accelerator programs run by other operators and runs its own programs such as 30X30, Basecamp, CivVic Labs and NOVA, as well as co-investment funds for women-led and agtech startups. Its website now states that LaunchVic has become Innovation Victoria, a combined entity with Breakthrough Victoria.
