About this programme
Remarkable is a disability tech accelerator operated by the Cerebral Palsy Alliance (CPA) and the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation (CPARF). It describes itself as one of the world's first accelerators focused specifically on this space, having accelerated over 210 companies building technology for disability, ageing, and health since 2016.
The Accelerator supports for-profit, for-purpose startups that are post-product and post-revenue, with scalable technology focused on positive impact and growth. It welcomes international founders, alongside a dedicated programme for US-based participants run under the CPARF licence.
Remarkable provides seed funding, startup-coach and mentor guidance, feedback from the disability community, and business development support. It sits alongside Remarkable's earlier-stage Launcher pre-accelerator (for founders who don't yet have an MVP) and Scaler, a later-stage pathway.
How it works
Remarkable's published materials describe the Accelerator as providing seed funding in exchange for equity, plus coaching, mentoring, disability-community feedback, and business-development support, but the current official Accelerator page does not publish the specific investment amount, equity percentage, or programme length — check the live page or a Remarkable info session for current terms before applying.
The programme runs virtually with structured coaching and mentoring; Remarkable's site does not currently specify precise weekly time commitments, in-person requirements, or a published programme calendar. Confirm these directly with Remarkable at application time.
Remarkable also runs a separate Launcher pre-accelerator (a 12-week, part-time, fully online programme run on Australian Eastern time) for founders who don't yet have a minimum viable product, feeding into the Accelerator pipeline for later cohorts. A Scaler pathway exists for more established companies.
Who can apply
Startups must be post-product (an MVP already built) and post-revenue, with scalable technology and a clear positive-impact focus for people with disability, in ageing, or in health.
International founders are welcomed; Remarkable also runs a dedicated programme specifically for US-based participants, operated under its CPARF licence.
Founders who do not yet have an MVP are directed to Remarkable's earlier-stage Launcher pre-accelerator instead.
How to apply
- Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) via the form on remarkable.org for the next Accelerator cohort.

Frequently asked
Does Remarkable Accelerator provide funding, and does it take equity?
Remarkable's Accelerator provides seed funding in exchange for equity as part of its programme, but the current official Accelerator page does not publish a specific dollar amount or equity percentage. Confirm current terms directly with Remarkable via its Expression of Interest process.
Can startups outside Australia apply?
Yes. Remarkable says international founders are welcome, and it runs a dedicated programme for US-based participants separately, operated under a CPARF licence. Confirm current geographic terms with Remarkable directly.
Does my startup need to already have revenue to apply?
Remarkable's Accelerator is aimed at post-product, post-revenue startups. Founders who don't yet have an MVP are pointed to Remarkable's earlier-stage Launcher pre-accelerator instead.
What is the Launcher pre-accelerator?
Launcher is Remarkable's earlier-stage, part-time, fully online pre-accelerator for founders developing disability, ageing, or health tech from idea through early revenue, running roughly 12 weeks on Australian Eastern time. It feeds into later Accelerator cohorts.
Who runs Remarkable?
Remarkable is operated by the Cerebral Palsy Alliance (CPA) and the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation (CPARF), which also licenses the Remarkable brand for its dedicated US programme.
