he H2 Ventures Startup Accelerator program is a leading Australian startup accelerator based in Sydney. Each year we have a summer cohort starting in February, and a winter cohort starting in August. We like startups in the financial services (fintech), insurance, realestate, cyber security, data and analytics, artificial intelligence and related fields. Read our Request for Startups to get a better understanding of what we are looking for. Companies we've helped grow include Stockspot, Equitise, Simply Wall St, Macrovue, HashChing, Spriggy, Valiant Finance, Edstart, Birch Finance, Tapview, and LoanDolphin. The H2 Ventures Accelerator Program runs for 20 weeks with 8-10 teams (typically 2-3 entrepreneurs per team) invited to join the Program in each intake. Successful teams will be drawn from around the world and will be based in Stone & Chalk in Sydney for the duration of the Program. Ideally we would like teams that are cross functional with at least one hands-on technologist (engineer/coder) and at least one member with significant and relevant domain experience but we will consider any individual or team that applies. Applicants will need to demonstrate their ability to deliver a working minimum viable product and initial proof of market within 3-6 months with the aim of raising a Series A round of capital within 6-12 months.
