What is a startup ecosystem?
A startup ecosystem is a network of resources — people, investors, institutions, and companies — that works together to create an environment for startups to thrive.
The stronger the ecosystem the more likely a startup will be successful.
Founders are specialised entrepreneurs, central to startup ecosystems as they create and grow startups.
Angel investors and venture capitalists provide capital, support and access to networks.
Employees bring skills necessary for the development, marketing and roll-out of their products and services.
Community builders and support services support founders and their teams to get the skills and networks to grow startups.
Government sets policy and funds initiatives that encourage entrepreneurship.
Universities and research organisations produce new ideas and nurture talent.
Customers and business partners support startups to grow, by providing revenue and participate in M&A activities.
Victoria has created 20 unicorns
