We’re excited to welcome the Australia+ startups joining our Remarkable 2025 Accelerator!
This year is a special one for Remarkable. We are celebrating ten years of supporting founders who are shaping the future of Disability Tech. Since our first program in 2016, we’ve worked with 166 startups and over 300 founders. Together, they have reached more than 880,000 people around the world.
Meet the 2025 Australia+ Startups
These startups are rethinking what’s possible as they develop innovations that make public transport easier to use, housing more inclusive, and everyday life more independent for people with disability. They’re led by founders who are creating meaningful change and building a more inclusive future.
“What excites me most about this cohort is their boldness—not just in what they’re building, but in challenging assumptions about how our systems should work. These founders remind us that inclusion isn’t an afterthought; it’s where true innovation begins.”
Pete Horsley, Founder of Remarkable
