Funding
There is a range of funding available at state and federal level. The NSW Government provides support for startups through grants and programs:
- MVP Ventures Program
- Regional Startups
- Western Sydney Investment Attraction Fund
Government as a customer
If your solution is novel or innovative, we at least need an MVP that has been validated in the market in order for us to identify and connect you to the appropriate NSW Government agency. We expect that you have identified your ideal customer and can advise who in government is likely to want to buy your solution.
Regulation
If you have a novel or innovative solution and are confronting a regulatory barrier or hurdle, we may be able to help you.
Contact the relevant agency or regulator. We may be able to facilitate connections where you have been unable to contact the relevant agency or regulator. Ensure you have clearly identified the specific regulatory barrier in the NSW Government Directory.
Support for startups
NSW is the leading state for startups in Australia. If you are thinking of starting a business you are in the right place.
In Sydney you can access the Sydney Startup Hub or if you're located in regional NSW you can access the various regional incubators.
You can start your journey with the Service NSW practical guide to starting a business or visit business.gov.au for grants and programs.
But if you are looking for mentorship or applied learning, we suggest you research the various incubators and accelerators located in NSW.
While NIC is not a consulting service and can't advise on your business, product market fit, business model or where to access capital, we can direct you to government grants and resources.
