Crossing the Chasm: What Mining Tech Companies Need to Reach Series B
Australia is producing more mining technology startups than ever, yet very few have crossed the chasm from seed stage to institutional capital. What separates the companies that scale from those that stall?
In this candid conversation, a venture investor and a government investment strategist share what they’re seeing from both sides of the capital table, the common barriers stopping promising mining tech from reaching Series B, what global investors are actually looking for, and whether Australian companies are meeting that criteria. With real examples of what works and what doesn’t, this is a practical session for anyone building, funding, or backing mining technology.
If you’re a mining tech founder, benchmark your investor readiness against the criteria shared. If you’re a miner, identify one startup in your pipeline you could help cross the chasm through a pilot or partnership.
