MVP Ventures Programme (NSW)
Co-funds New South Wales startups and SMEs building tech or hardware products, up to A$75,000 depending on the stream.
Businesses apply through the NSW Government grant portal during open rounds, submitting a project plan and evidence of matching co-funding. Two streams are available: a general stream requiring a larger co-contribution, and a second stream for women-owned, regional and Indigenous businesses with a lower co-contribution requirement.
MVP Ventures backs New South Wales startups and SMEs at the MVP or early product development stage, focused on tech and hardware products with innovation potential. It is designed to help these businesses bridge the gap between early research and investment readiness.
