The Australian and New Zealand Founder Institute, part of the world's largest pre-seed startup accelerator, is proud to announce the newest Alumni from the Australia New Zealand Spring 2023 program.
After meticulous selection process and intense four months of aggressive business-building sprints, constant evaluation, and feedback from investors and mentors, just five companies were able to make it through.
Each of these Founders have demonstrated a high level of perseverance and creativity, and their businesses have been thoroughly vetted and supported by a panel of startup experts and investors.
And now, without further ado, we present the Alumni of the Australia program:
- Simple AI - company offers a revolutionary educational platform designed to enhance learning experiences for students.
- ONE PILLAR - Creating sweat resistant socks to provide comfort and confidence each step of the way.
- Subbix- a product management platform that streamlines material approvals by connecting builders, developers, and suppliers.
- BeTuned - providing subscription-based digital mental health solutions marrying the principles of evidence-based therapy with the interactivity and engagement of mobile gaming technology.
- Jobseeker circle - a startup that helps skilled migrants find the right job by providing them with resources required during their job search.
The Australia New Zealand Spring 2023 program would not have been possible without help, because it truly takes a city to raise a startup.
