What to expect?

Eligibility Criteria
- Disability Tech: Your tech startup must clearly benefit people with disabilities, directly or indirectly, which could include disability, health, or aging innovations.
- Startup Stage: Is your startup post-product, post-revenue? If so, they’re looking for you. Earlier stage medtech hardware products are encouraged to apply too, given their longer path to market.
- Growth Ready: If your tech is able to scale to help more people, they are interested.
- Australia/US Focus: Their focus is on the Australian and US markets but welcome startups from anywhere. Your location will determine which program you are eligible to join.
