2018 – a year of firsts for Techboard

19/12/201819/12/2018 Peter van Bruchem

This year has been a big one for the Team at Techboard, with things accelerating towards the end of the year.

We pivoted to focus on our funding data, and have gone on to collect the best funding data ever collected on Australian Startup and Tech Companies covering all significant reported funding sources.
Our first ever Annual Funding Report for the 2017/18 FY was published in September to broad media coverage.
Our funding data was featured in the premier Startup report for 2018, the StartupAus Crossroads report.
We secured our first paying premium partners in RSM and Radium Capital
Our first Techboard Roundtable event supported by RSM was a big success.
We launched subscriber access to our funding data and made our first sale.

... and we have plenty more big announcements in the pipeline... 2019 is looking to be a pretty exciting one for Techboard in its mission to use its data to power the growth of the Australian Startup Ecosystem.

We hope your company has had a great year and that 2019 will be even better. Why not share your successes on our Announcements platform.

Funding Report September Quarter 2018

08/11/201810/12/2018 Peter van Bruchem

We are very pleased to release our Funding Report for the September quarter of 2018 revealing $1.085b of funding for Australian startups and young tech companies.

The last month has seen the release of two major reports by Startup Muster and LaunchVic which both provide useful insights into the Australia and Victorian Startup Ecosystems both of which were survey-based. Techboard’s approach differs from both in that rather than just using survey-based methodologies we actively monitor press coverage and announcements from the over 2500 companies in the Techboard Directory, as well as funding events we identify from companies not yet in the Directory. We also supplement this with data that is reported to us by companies, investors and others. We just report on funding events we uncover.

The Techboard Directory … An Update

13/08/201813/08/2018 Peter van Bruchem

Startup and Tech Company data is at the very core of what Techboard is. Central to Techboard's data collection and monitoring efforts is the Techboard Directory. Once we have added a company to the directory we start tracking traction and growth metrics on the company, such as funding events as will be featured in our upcoming Annual Funding Report out soon. Since the beginning of 2017 we have been working hard to grow the directory from a Western Australian focused directory to a truly national directory of Australian startups and young tech companies.
