In the left top corner are the VMDO, Creative Victoria, and Music Victoria logos. In the center, it reads MAP in white and Velocity in bright blue. In the bottom right corner, it has the Melbourne University and MAP Velocity logo.]

VMDO has partnered with Melbourne University to provide two places for music-related startups in the MAP Velocity Program - Melbourne's part-time, pre-accelerator program for early-stage founders. Melbourne is renowned as Australia's music capital and also has an enviable record of producing music-related and music-adjacent startups.

We are excited to announce the two recipients are:

• Veda Varcoe

The first image shows a man with brown hair and a mustache, looking directly at the camera. He wears a dark blazer over a white shirt against a light orange background with white and red text, stating "MAP Velocity Scholarship Recipient - Lachlan Oliver.
