You will need to upload a completed startup ecosystem checklist with your application under the Key Assessment Criteria. This is very simple, but requires you to have the document saved on your computer, or on a storage device. A file up to 25MB can be uploaded; however we ask that you please keep files to a maximum of 10MB – the larger the file, the longer the upload time. If you are having trouble downloading the blank checklist to complete please contact grants@launchvic.org
