Nature Tech Accelerator 2025

Global venture builder and investor Founders Factory, in partnership with the Government of Western Australia, have selected six new startups innovating in nature, biodiversity, and industry’s impact on the environment to join their Nature Tech Accelerator. 

Launched in 2024 and now in its second cohort, Founders Factory’s latest Nature Tech cohort includes four early stage startups from Western Australia, as well as startups from the UK and Canada. 

The six startups are:

• Ecogas—produces biofuels from anaerobic digestion as an affordable and scalable alternative to natural gas and green hydrogen (Perth, Australia)

• Eden Towers—sustainable vertical farms producing high-yield horticultural and specialty crops with zero-waste processes (Perth, Australia)

• Raaise—fundraising platform that streamlines capital raising for pro-planet startups (Margaret River, Australia)

• Tidal Moon—seagrass restoration and sustainable development of marine resources (Shark Bay, Australia)

• Earthly—enabling businesses to invest in high-integrity, nature-based projects (London, UK)

  Tree Track—AI-driven aerial seeding solutions using patented seedpods and drones to reforest cost-effectively and at scale (Port Coquitlam, Canada)
  
  These ventures aim to solve tensions between industry and nature, felt closely in Western Australia but also on a global scale. Ecogas, for instance, addresses Australia’s landmark policy for heavy industries to reduce emissions by 5% each year, by helping companies access cheaper, scalable green fuel alternatives.
