Sponsorship

Put forward your startup event.

UpSure tries to give back to the startup community where we can. If you are organising a grassroots founder event, tell us what you are building and how sponsorship would help.

Reviewed, not guaranteed.

Every request is reviewed by the UpSure team. Sponsorship depends on fit, timing, budget and capacity, so we cannot promise support for every proposal.

What we look for

Community value before logo value.

Founder-first communities

Events that help early-stage founders, startup operators and scaleup teams learn, connect and build practical momentum.

Useful education

Sessions with clear substance: risk, capital, cyber, contracts, operations, partnerships or other founder-critical topics.

Ecosystem give-back

Grassroots events where support genuinely helps the community happen, not just logo placement on a premium package.

Review process

Give us enough context to make a fair call.

The more specific the proposal, the easier it is for us to review. We are usually looking for events where UpSure can contribute meaningfully to the startup ecosystem, not just buy another logo slot.

Audience fit with Australian startups, scaleups, VCs or innovation teams
