LaunchVic funds accelerators, pre-accelerators and ecosystem initiatives rather than making direct grants to most startups. Startups access support by joining a LaunchVic-funded programme (for example Alice Anderson Fund for women-led ventures, and sector accelerators). Some direct founder programmes include stipends.
