One application could change everything. Since the first Startup Battlefield Australia in 2017, there have been 26 alumni companies that have collectively raised over $147 million, with three successful acquisitions. They’ve been backed by some of the world’s most respected investors — including Y Combinator, Blackbird Ventures, Square Peg Capital, Khosla Ventures, Microsoft, AirTree Ventures, Startmate, Techstars, and SOSV. It all started with one decision: They applied. 一份申请可能会改变一切。自 2017 年首届 Startup Battlefield Australia 举办以来，已有 26 家校友企业累计融资超过 1.47 亿美元，并完成了三起成功收购。它们获得了全球一些最受尊敬的投资者的支持，包括 Y Combinator、Blackbird Ventures、Square Peg Capital、Khosla Ventures、Microsoft、AirTree Ventures、Startmate、Techstars 和 SOSV。这一切都始于一个决定：他们提交了申请。
