Techboard, Australia’s Startup and Tech Data company has just published its latest Australian Startup and Young Tech Company Funding Report for the 2017/18 financial year. The report revealed that over the course of the financial year $3.5B of funding flowed to Australian Startup and Young Tech Companies (up to 10 years old). Fintech Companies featured very prominently in the report, accounting for $988m of funding events over the financial year making Fintech the most funded category of company overall.

We are excited to release our first ever national startup and tech map. While we have previously published maps of the Western Australian landscape, this is our first national attempt. We believe it is one of the most ambitious visual mapping exercises conducted of the Australian startup space to date, and so we’re naturally excited about it. It is not perfect. There are noteworthy companies not included in the map, and (hopefully not too many) embarrassing omissions.

EDITED: the FY 17/18 Techboard funding report is now available.

The 2017/18 financial year is drawing to a close and the Techboard team is working towards its first Annual Funding Report covering funding events by Australian startups and young tech companies confirmed during the 2017/18 financial year. This will be the most comprehensive annual funding report covering the Australian Startup and Tech Ecosystem ever.  We want to make sure we cover as many funding events as possible so we are calling on the support and assistance from companies, advisors, investors/funders and others to help supplement our dataset.
