Corporate Partnerships

Co‑create to solve real problems

A structured way for corporates to work with startups – to build, test, and launch new ideas.

Innovation is moving fast. But most corporates aren’t.

You’ve got customers expecting more. A market shifting under your feet. And internal processes too slow to keep up. Your team’s full of smart people, but unlocking real innovation? That’s another story.

Stone & Chalk gives you a smarter way to innovate without the risk, cost, or noise.

We connect you directly with Australia’s top startups and scaleups in the innovation ecosystem, giving you direct access to the ideas, talent, and technology reshaping your industry.

Whether you’re solving client challenges, testing new products, or building for the future, our structured partnership pathways help you go from problem to solution with speed and confidence.
