About this program

The Western Australia Government & Founders Factory Nature Tech Program accelerates nature and biodiversity startups to support diversification and decarbonisation. Operating from Perth, it backs early stage startups (pre-seed to seed) with capital and a four-month program to develop and validate new environmental technologies. It was launched in partnership with the Western Australian Government, so founders get guidance from regional government and access to government and industry partners in Western Australia and beyond. Operational support covers product development, strategy and operations, commercialisation, data science, partnerships and fundraising.
