Testimonials
"Perth Landing Pad has been instrumental in helping us establish AusPlant in WA. The program gave us access to invaluable mentoring, local networks, and practical support that accelerated our ability to connect with industry partners and refine our growth strategy. Being part of the program has made a real difference in our journey, and we would highly recommend it to any startup looking to scale in WA."
"Perth Landing Pad was essential to integrating within the vibrant startup community in Perth. My startup is small and so connections with other organisations and people at the same stage are critical to form a supportive network. I found the organisers and events helpful, and it has allowed me to embed my ideas within the ecosystem and grow investment opportunities."
