Mission Statement for Role

Startmate is the epicentre of startup ambition in ANZ, and our accelerator is at the heart of everything we do. We run Fellowships to supercharge our startups with talent, we run First Believers and raise our own funds to supercharge startups with financial investment, but the core of it all lies at our ability to attract, identify, accelerate and fiercely believe in the best founders in Australia and New Zealand.

This role will be one of the most pivotal roles in the startup ecosystem over the next few years. Startmate is home to Australia & New Zealand's largest and longest-running accelerator. We connect with thousands of founders a year, and the accelerator has invested in the top ~30 for the past 12 years, backing over 200 companies. Cumulatively, our 150+ active portfolio companies are worth $2b+, with a number of breakout companies (e.g. UpGuard, Propeller, Edrolo, Bugcrowd, HappyCo & 5B) worth $100M+. We're helping founders redefine industries of the future - hear from Julia Kay (Great Wrap) and Andy Miller (Heaps Normal).

As Management Consultant, the accelerator is your product, the founders are your customers, and the mentors are your most important stakeholders. Your job is to help us not just continue the momentum of running the best accelerator in ANZ, but to help us build the best accelerator in the world.
