The Unearthed Accelerator is a mentor-driven program supported by Origin Energy and Advance Queensland, that connects technology startups to industry customers and over fifty mentors and advisors, while helping achieve their entrepreneurial vision. Participating startups have access to seed funding, content delivery, one-on-one sessions with business experts, plus a vibrant co-working space to build great networks and work with others doing great things.
Times have changed whereby startups can now choose from a variety of programs to help them build, grow and scale.

"The Unearthed Accelerator provides the skills, funding and more importantly access to the huge market of resources customers to maximise startup success. We are excited to discover new global talent and look forward to welcoming the 2018 startups to the "Build" phase of the Accelerator program in October."
