About the FundedIQ Manufacturing startup funding data in Australia

FundedIQ tracks announced startup funding rounds and organises them by company, funding date, stage, amount, industry, location and investor.

Rounds whose amount was not disclosed (3 of 19 in that period) are counted as rounds but excluded from capital totals and from the median. The most recent round on record for funded Manufacturing startups in Australia is dated Jun 2026.

The table above shows the 23 most recently funded companies. Full funding histories, investor lists and founder contacts across the whole dataset open on a FundedIQ plan.
