Seedly is an equity crowdfunding platform focused on connecting more Australians to exciting, early stage investment opportunities. We are passionate about helping more Aussie startups and high-growth businesses raise funds that help them grow and succeed, where in the past they have had little access to funding.

Interested in talking to any groups or individuals who also want to see a more dynamic and successful Australian startup ecosystem, whether that be collaborating, partnering or just swapping ideas.

Interested in meeting early stage and innovative businesses looking to raise funds to discuss funding models.

Mr Peter Wezenbeek

WINGMATE designs a variety of Data Management and Electronic Control Systems based on the in house developed Real Time Operating System.

Our products are completely customisable, making them pre-eminently suitable to use as small series prototypes. This has proven to be a very important step to bridge the gap between research outcomes and industrial production.

We offer expert knowledge in data collection and analysis, CAN communication, engine control strategies and motorsport including Formula 1 and Red Bull Air Racing.

Applications for our Data systems include hybrid and electric vehicles usage, driver behaviour tracking, industrial engines, M2M projects, light and race airplanes. Our Control systems have been used in sprinkler systems, solar hot water and Engine Management Systems for diesel engine research.

Dr Frank Will Australia

Ino8’s mission is to invent the world’s safest and cleanest vehicle technologies and turn them into reality.

Our vision for future mobility is an entirely new generation of Leaning Cars that are narrow as a bike, and therefore leaning to the side when driving around a corner like a bike, but with 4 wheels, long enough to carry up to 4 people, safe as a car and cleaner than electric cars.
We want to establish Australia’s first own global car company to commercialise such a new generation of leaning cars and to eliminate unemployment in Australia. The new company will be a joint venture between various international contributing partners which will provide a global outreach right from the start.
The foundation of these innovative Leaning Cars is our patented Safe8™ balance control technology. It enables us to build a Leaning Car with electric drive at a cost comparable to a normal small car, a break-through for electro-mobility. The scope of this project is develop and build different versions of a leaning car to demonstrate the benefits and to generate the first order of a low volume production.
