Meet the Six Teams Participating in GRIFFIN 2021

The GRIFFIN Accelerator is welcoming six startups to participate in the 3-month intensive program, led by experienced mentors. 2021 marks the eighth year of the program, and each year brings in unique and high-growth potential teams.

“The high quality of all of the applications for the program demonstrates the amazing talent and entrepreneurship we have here in Canberra! I can’t wait to see the six GRIFFIN Teams thrive with support from so many experienced and knowledgeable mentors.” – Hannah Hartgers, Growth Programs
