Cohort Innovation Space is thrilled to partner with Synnch, the Gold Coast based R&D Tax Management Platform, for 2026. The collaboration will give Cohort members and accelerator program participants access to streamlined R&D processes, reducing manual work, managing audit risk, and maximising eligible claims to bring some extra Cash into their businesses.
Too many founders miss out on the R&D Tax Incentive because the process feels complex and time-consuming. Yet the program can return up to 43.5% of eligible R&D expenditure as cash, helping extend runway and accelerate your innovation. Synnch solves this problem by capturing R&D evidence and expenditure as work happens, eliminating hours of manual administration and avoiding the typical two to three week scramble most businesses face when preparing their claim.
Founded and headquartered on the Gold Coast, Synnch provides services across Research & Development, Compliance, Tax Incentives, R&D Reporting, ATO and AusIndustry Government compliance, accounting, and government funding – all while keeping sensitive information and IP secure and under the founder’s control. Andrew Antonopoulos, founder of Synnch shares his enthusiasm for what lies ahead.
“We’re thrilled to partner with the Cohort team to make R&D simpler, faster, and safer for founders,” says Andrew. “By removing complexity and chaos from the process, we can help founders focus on building and scaling their businesses while still maximising the incentives available to them.”
Cohort Innovation Space’s Director of Programs Dren Xerxa said he is looking forward to another big year supporting founders and how the partnership will greatly assist an often overlooked area.
“R&D is an invaluable tool providing generous funding for companies to accelerate innovation in Australia, yet the process is often hindered by complexity. By partnering with Synnch, we are significantly simplifying the R&D journey, ensuring our local visionaries can move from concept to commercialisation with total focus and speed’ says Mr Xerxa.
