🎉 Thrilled to share that LUMOS has been accepted into the Startmate Accelerator’s Winter23 cohort! We are beyond excited to see what the next 12 weeks holds for us.  Can’t wait to take LUMOS to the next level with Michael Batko, Brady Flockart, Phoebe Pincus, Maisy Bennett and the @Startmate team and their sensational mentor community!  #StartmateAccelerator

Startmate is the only Australian accelerator with alumni and mentors currently running everything from brand new companies to unicorns valued into the tens of billions.

This is important because it creates an unbroken chain of experience from the early stages of beginning a new venture through the trials of scaling, hiring and fundraising. There is always someone to talk to who is 1–2 steps ahead.

Another key difference is that Startmate’s mentors include Australia’s biggest angels and VCs and all mentors actually invest in the teams in our accelerator. Mentors invest at least $10k and some of the larger VC mentors invest much more. This means that teams form in-depth relationships with individuals that have already invested in them and are able to invest more.
