What we’re about
Silicon Beach Ballarat
Empowering Founders
Silicon Beach Ballarat is the Ballarat community of Silicon Beach Group Ltd., a “for purpose” company with a mission to “Empower Founders” around Australia. We are an informal group for anyone interested in founding or working in startups, dev/design in web/mobile tech, IoT, freelancing, investing or working with people in that space. We are a diverse bunch covering all ages, backgrounds and first point of call for newcomers to the startup community in Melbourne.
Watch past 90second pitches and all our past events on our YouTube channel Silicon Beach TV.
Our regular monthly Pitch Night happens on the first Thursday night of every month. They usually attract around 100 - 150 Silicon Beachers. They are FREE networking events purposely kept very unstructured, so that our members can chat and get to know each other over a drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic).
Main feature is the 90 second pitch segment where anyone is encouraged to pitch their idea, startup, app or whatever. This is an excellent way to get used to pitching and get feedback from a bunch of non judgemental peers.
This group is about you, we provide you the platform that will enable you to be that awesome startup founder, tech founder, coder, freelancer or whoever you want to be.
