Last week our friends at Think & Grow released a report entitled "Startups in Perth Unwrapped", providing founder-led, data backed insights into the current landscape of Perth's startup ecosystem and community, with recommendations to support its levelling up on a national and global scale. Techboard was very pleased to contribute its data to the report and its Launch.

Techboard is very pleased to announce it has again been contracted by the Australian Government via the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources to provide data on funding secured by Australian Startups and Young Technology companies.

In our recent Annual Report for FY20 we revealed that startup and tech funding in Australia remained generally strong despite COVID 19. Techboard data for the September quarter 2020 reveals a much less positive picture with funding levels generally lower across the board, with funding down 47% from the June quarter 2020. Overall funding levels however remained ahead of funding levels for the same period in 2019, up 25%.

The Techboard Team has been busy over recent months, ensuring that we continue to deliver the best Startup and Tech funding data to our subscribers, increasing the pace at which we can deliver that data and also working on a project to improve the Techboard platform to provide access to our data in a form where it is easier to interrogate, explore and discover insights. We are pleased to report that the first part of that project has been released, the all NEW Techboard Funding Event Search Engine incorporating our new integrated data architecture. The new search engine enables a funding centric search of our three major datasets of Companies, Funding Events and Funders/Investors (we capture much more than just private investment).
