Sivan Atad's startup nVest as the latest winner of SmartCompany's early-stage startup competition, the Pitch.

The overall tally of startup funding announced this week may be smaller than the weeks gone by, but we think this is only the beginning for these Aussie startups.

SmartCompany hosted its third instalment of the Pitch in Sydney, an early stage startup competition, with nVest named the winner.

Startup funding is off to a strong start in August, with these week's tally reaching $85.6 million from eight startups spanning sectors including mining tech, cybersecurity, wellness, food waste and medtech.

Quantum computing startups were once again in the mix of funding news this week, with five Aussie companies raising a combined $58.5 million.

The total amount raised by startups this week may be substantially lower than the past two weeks, but the companies with fresh funding are no less interesting.

It's been another $100 million-plus week for Australian startup funding, with this week's total of $115.7 million coming in slightly ahead of last week's $107.35 million.

It's a big one this week! Nine Aussie startups have received VC funds equating to a collective $107.35 million - more than double what we had on the books last week.

It's been relatively quieter on the startup funding front this week, but it appears there's still plenty of interest from investors in agtech startups and those in the AI space.

Six Aussie startups raised serious money this week, plus two more from last week which adds an impressive $42 million to the total amount raised.

This week's funding news includes millions for a rapidly growing pet food startup, a number of climate-focused companies, and a virtual sports league.

From biotech to NDIS support and even a celebrity chef-backed food platform, this week's startup raises are a varied lot.
