Over the next 90 days, each team will work in-person from our innovation hubs, Riff and the Western Sydney Startup Hub, with access to over $500K in AI software credits and perks, $25K+ in cloud compute and API credits, and hands-on support from AI researchers, engineers, and product specialists. Alongside the technical resources, fellows will tap into curated customer and investor pathways and work alongside a peer cohort of founders building at a similar stage.
The residency will wrap with a pitch event later this year, where each team will present to a room of AI-focused investors and corporate innovation teams.
We'll be sharing updates on the cohort's progress throughout the program. Follow us on LinkedIn here to keep up with how each team is progressing, and visit our website to learn about other programs on offer designed to support innovators and changemakers across Australia.
