About  
Launcher

The Remarkable Launcher Pre-Accelerator Program supports early-stage founders and startups to turn ideas into validated, inclusive solutions that positively impact the lives of people with disability.

Launcher is a part-time, 12-week pre-accelerator designed for those at the beginning of their startup journey, including those developing solutions in disability, ageing, and health tech. The program supports founders to test and refine scalable, sustainable ideas — whether digital products, physical devices, or a combination of both — through expert-led learning, coaching, and community connection.

Delivered by Remarkable, the venture division of Cerebral Palsy Alliance, Launcher champions design with, not for, people with disability. The program creates space for co-design and user feedback with people who have lived experience of disability and connects founders to Remarkable’s global ecosystem of mentors, partners, and investors.

Who Should ApplyApplicant Criteria

Launcher is a good fit for founders and teams who meet the following criteria:

  • Focus on Disability, Ageing or Health Tech: Your idea or startup is developing technology that benefits people with disability, either directly or indirectly. This may include disability, ageing, or health-related innovations.
  • Early-Stage of Development: You are at an early stage - anywhere from idea or concept, through to prototype, pilot, or early revenue.
  • Open to Learning, Testing and Feedback: You are ready to test and refine your idea, gain feedback, and learn alongside others. We welcome individuals and teams from all backgrounds and lived experiences who are keen to work with experienced facilitators, coaches, and peers.
  • Available to Participate in a Global, Virtual Program: Launcher is delivered online and supports founders from around the world. To participate fully, teams need to be prepared to commit to virtual sessions scheduled in Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT).

If you're building in Disability Tech, we want to hear from you.

"I learned a lot about customer interviewing, as someone with ASD I can find going out of my way to have conversations a little bit challenging but I was able to get support from my mentor in how to structure those conversations."

Founder of Focus Bear

"So amazing, a great balance of experts and people not too unlike us! It was really reassuring hearing from others who have been on this journey and have made it!"
