Responses to the annual census of Australia’s startup ecoystem, Startup Muster close this Monday August 18.
Survey founder Murray Hurps, that for the first time they have survey coordinators on the ground in every Australian state and territory to ensure the feedback is truly representative of what’s happening across the nation.
“Startup Muster has been on a mission to measure and publish the progress, challenges, and opportunities within the Australian startup ecosystem since 2013, in order to demonstrate and accelerate progress,” Hurps said.
“Australia has one of the world’s most geographically dispersed startup ecosystems. According to Startup Muster 2024, the average distance between each Australian startup is 850km, and a maximum of 3,700km. I need your help to make sure our unique startup ecosystem is understood, your opinions heard, and your work appreciated.”
It takes about 20 minutes to do.
The national report will be available for free in late 2025. The responses will also be shared with relevant parts of Government and for research (if you give permission).
Each year there’s an initial call for questions to help shape the survey and in 2025, Hurps said they’ve combined questions this year from many different startup supporters and government departments to save doubling up.
“This survey will take a while – grab a coffee – but you can stop any time and come back to resume later. We’re confident you can complete this in much less time than a typical policy consultation session.”
Supporting the 2025 Startup Muster are: Optus, ARENA, Research Link Australia (ARDC), City of Sydney, ACS Labs, Rippling, Stone & Chalk, Main Sequence, Queensland University of Technology, University of Newcastle, Pledge 1%, National AI Centre, CSIRO, Ashurst, Baxter IP and Gild Group.
