Stone & Chalk x ANZ: A foundational partnership powering innovation

At Stone & Chalk, our mission is to accelerate the growth of world-class startups by building powerful connections between founders, industry leaders, and innovation-forward institutions.

ANZ was a founding corporate partner when we first launched in Sydney in August 2015, and again stood alongside us as a founding partner when we opened our doors in Melbourne.

This partnership reflects a shared commitment to shaping the future of financial services through collaboration, experimentation, and access to emerging technologies.

Together, we’ve co-hosted a range of thought leadership events exploring the frontiers of financial innovation, from blockchain and banking workshops to intimate fireside chats with ANZ’s leadership team.

These events have not only brought together some of the brightest minds in fintech but have also fostered real, actionable outcomes for the broader ecosystem.

Through our partnerships we help define business challenges and co-create innovation pathways.

We connect corporates to new technologies, business models, and a thriving community of startups. This approach ensures our partners stay at the forefront of transformation, not just as observers, but as active participants.

Our partnership with ANZ is a powerful example of what can happen when large institutions open their doors to startups and co-design the future, rather than waiting for it.
