Introducing the 2025 MAP Cohort
11 startups. One mission: build what matters.
Today, we’re excited to introduce the 2025 MAP Accelerator cohort. These 11 startups are bold, ambitious and ready to take on some of the world’s most pressing challenges across health, AI, sustainability, mobility and more.
Since 2012, the Melbourne Accelerator Program (MAP) has supported over 100 startups, and our alumni have raised hundreds of millions, created thousands of jobs and made a real difference to millions of lives. With the backing of the University of Melbourne, Melbourne Climate Futures, Cameron Foundation and additional support from LaunchVic, we’re doubling down on our mission to back the best of Australia’s entrepreneurial talent and grow the next generation of startup leaders.
