Congratulations to our graduating VC & VCS 2025 cohort!

VC Graduation event

This month we celebrated the graduation of the 2025 Venture Catalyst cohort. A celebration that consisted of great pitches, an engaging expo, and great networking opportunities. We had an amazing turnout and were proud to see the progress that these startups have made over the last six months.

Graduates of this year's Venture Catalyst Space stream are developing technologies spanning satellite communications, launch systems, data management and propulsion, showcasing the diversity and global potential of the next generation of space innovators.

The graduation marks a significant milestone as the ICC celebrates 10 years of powering entrepreneurial talent. The general VC cohort reflects the diversity and depth of South Australia’s startup community, with four of the companies led by UniSA students, staff or alumni, and BizFilm participating through a partnership with the Helpmann Academy.
