Startup Muster is back in 2026 thanks to widespread support to save it
Summary
Startup Muster has secured widespread financial support to continue its annual startup survey in 2026 after founder Murray Hurps warned it might shut down. More than 22 organizations, including the federal government and 10 universities, stepped in to fund the initiative. The survey remains an important source of data for governments, industry groups, and policy makers tracking Australia’s startup ecosystem. The 2026 survey will run in July and August, with the national report due in November and additional deep-dive reports to follow.
