GRIFFIN Accelerator Program

Grant Description

The GRIFFIN Accelerator programme, established in 2014, is an intensive 11-week initiative in Canberra that equips purpose-driven founders with expert local mentors to unlock sustainable business growth. Participants join a tight-knit, high-performing cohort and gain full-time membership at a thriving coworking space, immersing themselves in workshops and content crafted by seasoned entrepreneurs and subject-matter experts. The programme provides AWS credits and strategic accelerator partnerships, plus access to legal, accounting and R&D advisory services, and culminates in a final pitch for up to $100,000 in SAFE-note investment. Since its inception, over 50 local startups across various industries have accelerated their progress through GRIFFIN, and graduates continue to benefit from long-term mentor support and industry connections.
