What we’re about
Morning Startup - Perth
If you're involved in a startup, or thinking about starting one, chances are you can learn from others that are doing and thinking the same.
Morning Startup is a fortnightly morning catchup where founders, potential entrepreneurs and others in the startup community (VCs and Angels welcome) get together to learn something interesting, get feedback on idea, vent frustrations, and meet some new friends in the game.
If you're not a morning person, we also host a casual afterwork catchup on the first Wednesday of each month called Founder Sundowner.
We look forward to seeing you there!
You can contact the organisers either by sending a message through this meetup group, or via:

See all- Impact Driven with Kate KirwinRiff, powered by Spacecubed, Perth
Most startups are founded from a burning need to solve a problem, or as we like to say, having an impact. Humans work best when they are united by a common goal, and can clearly measure progress to reaching that goal.
In this special edition of Morning Startup, we kick things off with Kate Kirwin, Founder and CEO of She Codes Australia and the 2024 WA Young Australian of the Year!
Kate will share with us how she measures the impact of the work she does and communicates it with her community and stakeholders. Problem, solution, measure, communicate, repeat.
If you're building an impact driven startup, DO NOT MISS THIS!
But wait, there's more! As it's West Tech Fest week, we're hosting a Morning Startup double header! After a short break with some breakfasty treats, hang around and learn about WA's startup support programs with an insightful panel brought to you by the team at Meshpoints.
