Techboard has published its latest FUNDED Funding Update, for the September Quarter 2023. Check out the Update at https://lnkd.in/gWjScJ3V

The update reveals that during the September quarter Australian startups announced $979m from 110 announced private investments. This was a 17% drop in announced investments in value and a 36% drop in number from the June Quarter’s $1.182b from 172 deals and a return to the investment level captured in the March Quarter. This takes the total for the 2023 calendar year to date to $3.171b. 

Considered on a calendar year basis this puts the year on track to be the third best on record, behind the highs of 2021 and 2022, with the YTD result for 2023 and roughly equalling the full year result for 2020. On a Financial year basis this puts FY24 roughly on-par with FY23 at the close of the September quarter 2023.

Techboard is very pleased to present the Australian Angel Awards for 2023 in conjunction with AngelLoop. 

The purpose of the awards is to celebrate the contribution Angel investors make to the startup ecosystem and overall economy and community in Australia. Angel investors not only provide their own money as capital to startups and early stage businesses, they are also generally active in their support of their investee companies, providing guidance, mentoring, introductions and more.

The categories for 2023 have been modified in recognition of shifts in the Investment Landscape in Australia. We have introduced an award for the Biggest Impact Angel Investment and an award to celebrate a Champion of Investment Diversity.
These add to the five existing categories:
Most active Angel Group 
Most active regional Angel Group 
Most active Angel Investor 
Angel Investor of the Year 
Best Angel Exit of the Year

Entries are now open and close on 31 October 2023
