Australia’s first disability-focused startup accelerator has welcomed its fourth-ever cohort of startups, taking on board seven new ventures innovating in spaces such as speech therapy, job matching and rehabilitation.
The Remarkable accelerator is a division of the Australian Cerebral Palsy Alliance, and launched in 2016 to support Australian businesses working to make lives better for people with disabilities.
Companies coming through the program are provided with $35,000 in funding in exchange for 5% equity, along with a 16-week program consisting of masterclasses, product development assistance, mentors, investor briefing sessions, and a demo day for startups to pitch their projects.
Former members of the Remarkable cohorts include virtual reality diversity training startup Equal Reality, which received funding from Optus to head to the US, and Sydney-based startup HomeCare Heroes.
