One of Australia’s best tech and innovation festivals, South Australia’s _SOUTHSTART, is offering 10 startup founders to take the stage for its pitch showcase in 2025
The annual 3-day event brings together founders, investors, and industry visionaries to connect, and shape the future, next year from March 4-6, in Adelaide’s Garden of Unearthly Delights, as well as the Fleurieu Coast and McLaren Vale.
Festival co-director Danielle Seymour said _SOUTHSTART 2025 will feature the same level of thought-provoking talks and discussions as previous years, but with more practical masterclasses and a bigger focus than ever on industry-style summits.
“In the midst of the hustle and noise of scaling ventures, raising capital, and pushing boundaries, there is immense value in stopping to reflect,” she said.
“That’s why _SOUTHSTART ensures to provide you with the environment in which to breathe, fostering experiences that enable you to truly connect with other people.”
That includes the chance for 10 founders to take the stage on festival day, pitching to an audience of investors and gaining fully funded access to the experience.
“The showcase offers entrepreneurs a chance to receive invaluable feedback and forge connections with a room filled with investors, industry leaders, and innovators,” Seymour said.
“For aspiring and ambitious startups, this festival is more than just a showcase – it’s a unique platform to amplify your ideas, accelerate growth and make your mark on the startup ecosystem!”
Applications are now open, and close on December 20.
