A six-month program designed to scale ambitious startups

We’re looking for bold founders ready to take their startups to the next level. Whether you're in tech, sustainability, health, consumer goods, or any industry with global potential, Plus Eight provides the funding, mentorship, and network to help you scale.

If you’re solving a real problem and have the drive to grow, we want to hear from you!

Discover the fundamentals of building a strong startup

A structured pathway to scale your startup

Our accelerator is designed to challenge and support ambitious founders through a structured, three-phase journey. It all starts with an intensive 2-day bootcamp, where you’ll receive real-time feedback from program leads, and experienced mentors and investors. From there, the most promising founders move into Phase One — an eight-week sprint featuring Entrepreneur-in-Residence sessions, expert-led masterclasses, and tailored mentorship.

In Phase Two, a select group of 6-12 startups will secure seed funding, gain access to international opportunities, and showcase their growth at Demo Night.

Discover international markets unlock new opportunities

An international immersion experience

Founders selected into Phase Two of the program will gain firsthand exposure to global markets through an immersive international trip. This experience is designed to inspire, connect, and position startups for global success. By accessing fast-growing ecosystems, Australian founders can build strategic relationships, explore investment opportunities, and gain insights into scaling internationally.

Previous international immersion trips have included San Francisco, Singapore, London and Austin.
