“HARVEST helped us by raising our domestic profile and focusing our attention in a different way when strategically analysing our business. It also helped with direct introductions to supply partners, government and industry bodies. An amazing platform for people to utilise and take advantage of the opportunities presented."

"We've been passionately trying to expand our reach into the regions and the inclusive nature of the HARVEST program, the ability to bring the team through at different stages and different times of availability, allowed us - during an extraordinarily difficult & challenging time - to make some fantastic connections into Wheatbelt distribution. And through connections we've been able to make solid inroads to regional access, and do business the way we always wanted - ethically, and co-operatively with other brands. Almost on a daily basis, we're expanding our state based reach and the contacts and people we've worked with are countless, and majority are a direct result of HARVEST."

"Innovation and change is needed to address the issues we are facing in the ag industry and this is a driver of the Government’s support for initiatives such as the HARVEST Agtech Accelerator. HARVEST is helping to grow the businesses that will future proof WA’s agriculture sector and provide technological solutions to help our industry. HARVEST is empowering innovators to turn good ideas into great ideas and then into commercial success stories.”

“Thank you for a priceless opportunity to connect with tech companies, build relationships with farmers and stakeholders. The main benefits were understanding of financials, making connections with others relevant to the business, learning to pitch, refining our story for sharing, networking including meeting with industry decision makers like the Minister for Agriculture. We feel that the benefits above also helped us succeed in obtaining a Regional Economic Development Grant and Nuffield Scholarship."

“HARVEST opened the door to the agricultural sector with introductions to the big players, for example the CEO of Ag World, and taught me how to talk to farmers to discover their pain points and bring them into the process early while creating the foundations of the technology to help the GeoMoby team construct a roadmap to provide a range of solutions to drastically improve farmers’ locations based services. I am currently in negotiations with two large overseas-owned  north west cattle farms who have been provided proposals due to their interest in GeoMoby solutions for tracking livestock patterns of movement, and water levels. Since HARVEST GeoMoby has grown steadily to 15 team members across 3 continents.”

“ The highlight has been the network building - from the companies in the Startup Network through to the connections at both dinners. We greatly appreciated the open sharing of experiences and knowledge from the founders who understood the path we are all on. We felt very well prepped for the investor dinner through the sharing of contacts and allowing us to be well and truly integrated into the investor community.”

“ Agristart's HARVEST program has exceeded my expectations in terms of what I am learning and the invaluable connections I have made with key players from WA's most significant agrifood businesses. The program has helped me to refine my thinking and given me more confidence in the approach I am taking with my business. The thoughtfulness of the program that has been put together cannot be understated and I'm very grateful to have been included in the 2025 cohort. ”

“Thank you for the wonderful opportunities provided through this program. I’m extremely grateful — it was truly valuable and gave me some great insights. I really appreciate the effort your amazing team put into organising everything. Building an AgTech startup in WA hasn’t been easy, but I’m glad to have the support of Innovation Cluster along the way.”

“We are very excited to be a part of the 2024 HARVEST cohort. There are so many great start up companies led by amazing innovators that are involved in this program. It has been great to get to know them and learn from them. Thanks AgriStart, Innovation Cluster and Natasha Teakle and team for providing this amazing program to showcase these start up businesses and provide invaluable introductions to industry partners to understand what the industry is seeking and exposure to these great businesses."
