We’ve seen startups launch, ideas flourish, and innovations change the world. But here’s the thing—so many of these stories remain untold. Believe us, we’ve searched the depths of the internet, mined the memories of our team, and pieced together Cicada’s incredible history. But we *know* there’s more out there. That’s why we’re launching the Cicada Deep Tech Hotline.  No, it’s not a late-night call-in show (though that would be fun). It’s an email address—a simple way to collect the stories that have shaped Cicada, direct from our community.  ### How You Can Get Involved Starting today, you can share your story anytime via our hotline—or visit the booth at one of our events to: 📞 Leave a message 📖 Share a memory 🎉 Wish Cicada a happy birthday It’s all part of building a living archive of Cicada’s impact and the role deep tech has played in Australia’s future. Throughout the year, we’ll be gathering these stories, bringing them to life, and making sure they aren’t lost to time. So if Cicada has ever been part of your journey—as a founder, researcher, mentor, investor, or just an innocent bystander who got roped into something cool—this is your chance to add to Australian deep tech history.
