Perth entrepreneurs and their teams are getting ready for this year's Plus Eight Accelerator.

The brain has been the focus of some rare but intriguing moves by companies starting in WA.

Accelerator programs are a practical way to encourage the early-stage tech scene, putting fledgling startups through a three-to-six-month program of mentoring, and providing equity funding.

Almost one in 10 people aged 24 to 30 have left WA in the past five years, signalling more must be done to create a culture of opportunity.

BetterLabs Ventures, RAC's early stage seed fund, has become WA's largest venture capital fund with the announcement last night it had expanded to $23 million.

WA-raised tech startup Humm has raised US$2.6 million (AU$3.7 million) from US-based investors, to further aid in the commercialisation of its wearable Edge headband technology.

Three Perth tech firms are creating their own deep tech to attract investors and create world-first innovations.

Perth startup Humm is setting its course for the next year after participating in Berkeley's eminent Skydeck accelerator program.
