About Startup Muster
Startup Muster is an annual survey of Australia's startup founders and the wider startup ecosystem, published as reports on its progress, challenges and opportunities. It was founded in 2013 and ran each year until its 2018 report. After a five-year gap, Murray Hurps relaunched it in 2023 with funding from the NSW Government and Atlassian; he is now its managing director. Its 2026 survey is supported by the Australian Government, the Australian Renewable Energy Agency, the City of Sydney and ten universities, among others.
