Lottie is transforming the care industry by offering a seamless digital marketplace that helps families find the perfect care homes and retirement living options for their loved ones. With a team of 75 employees since its founding in 2021, Lottie is making waves in both tech and care. Here’s why they’re leading the way: Innovative leadership: Will Donnelly and his team are reshaping how families approach care solutions. LinkedIn recognition: Making the Top Startups list proves Lottie’s ability to attract top talent and build an impactful business. Fast-growing team: From engineers to healthcare experts, Lottie is building the future of care with a dedicated, diverse team.

It's hard to believe it's been almost ten years since we started Apicbase. It feels like just yesterday we were a small group of passionate individuals with a big dream. Scaling a startup has been an incredible experience. Through it all, one thing has remained a constant source of strength and motivation. And that is... Our team. We've grown from a handful of individuals to a team of incredible minds, all working together to make Apicbase a success. Every team member brings something unique to the table. And it's this collective effort that has propelled us forward. Of course, there have been bumps along the road. There were times when things seemed impossible, and we weren't sure if we'd make it. But through it all, our team persevered. We learned from our mistakes, picked each other up when we fell down, and kept moving forward. It's this sense of connection, this unwavering belief in each other's abilities, that has truly been the heart and soul of Apicbase. For a growing start-up, this means a lot. Because trust me, when the going gets tough (and it will), it's your team that will see you through. And I'm incredibly grateful for each and every member of the Apicbase team. PS: Here's to the team, here's to the journey, and here's to what the next decade holds for Apicbase! 🥂 #startup #linkedin #business

Let's be honest. Startup life isn't for everyone. According to Sifted, 49% of founders say they’re considering quitting their startup this year. It's hard, and in recent years, has become harder. 53% of founders who said they’d experienced burnout with extremely high stress levels. As founders, we're driven by a mission, an idea. We want to make a difference, to create something which lasts and can impact positively on the world. But it shouldn't cost us our health. We know that when founders come together, they feel understood, listened to and seen. That's why we love bringing our community together for events in person at our Changemakers, and online through the Virgin StartUp Community. Whatever you're going through, you're not alone. We've teamed up with Self Space to give Community members a discount on vital support when they need it most.

Did you know Spotify Wrapped was created by an intern? Continuing that legacy, our intern Eleonore Zumbiehl created this video— It’s a great reminder that incredible ideas can come from anyone, and this has been so true for our community in 2024. 💡 No matter their background, culture, or experience, we’ve seen amazing founders pitch at our events. Some, like Build Buddy, even made it to the U.S., proudly representing Australia at the Startup World Cup! The numbers this year speak volumes: 🦄 6,000+ attendees at our events 🚀 $5M+ raised by founders in our community I couldn’t be prouder of what the team has achieved in such a short time. A huge thank-you to our partners (Techvisa, Radium Capital , NOAH Connect Pty Ltd , Andiron Group, FundBase Group, Pledge 1% Colorado) and the incredible communities across Australia who helped us create magic together!! (Stone & Chalk, Fishburners, Tank Stream Labs, The Community Collective, GreenHouse and more...) As we look to 2025, there’s so much to be excited about—new international locations, fresh initiatives, and even more inspiring founders.
