Meshpoints Town Hall: Introducing the Resilience & Wellbeing Challenge
- Apr 14
- 2 min read
$100,000+ in funding available for initiatives supporting founder mental health and wellbeing in WA.
Building a startup is hard. The uncertainty, the pressure, the long hours — it takes a toll. And for too long, founder wellbeing has been an afterthought in the innovation ecosystem.
Meshpoints is changing that.
At their upcoming Town Hall, Meshpoints will be launching Challenge #2: Resilience & Wellbeing — a funding initiative focused on supporting the mental health and wellbeing of founders across Western Australia's innovation ecosystem.
What's on offer
A minimum of $100,000 in total funding is available, with up to $20,000 per initiative. The challenge is grounded in insights from StartupWA's latest founder survey and a recent mental health and wellbeing roundtable — so the priorities are shaped by real data from the ecosystem.
If you're working on something that supports founder resilience — whether it's a program, resource, community initiative, or support service — this is worth paying attention to.
What to expect at the Town Hall
