About us
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:

Whether you’re pitching to investors, presenting to prospective partners, or facing a room full of unscripted audience questions, your physical and verbal presence often speaks before your slides do. In high-stakes startup environments, knowing how to own your authority and project calm, unshakeable confidence is the ultimate superpower.In this interactive 30-minute session, event producer, business director, and international stage performer Jessica Gough breaks down the exact physical and vocal techniques used on live stages to command instant attention. You will learn practical non-verbal persuasion tools, how to anchor your body under pressure, and how to stay composed, charismatic, and quick on your feet when hit with unexpected or tough Q&A curveballs. Drawing from over 17 years of experience producing high-level live events, building creative ventures, and performing internationally, Jessica bridges stagecraft with business strategy.
Expect actionable, real-world tools you can test immediately - leaving you equipped to pitch with power, navigate unscripted moments seamlessly, and leave an unforgettable impression in any room.

Founder Sundowner
Nowhereman Brewing Co, 25 Harrogate st, West Leederville, Perth, AUCalling all startup founders!
On the first Wednesday of each month, let's get together for a tasty beverage or two, celebrate and/or commiserate the month that was, and share plans and ideas for the month yet to be!
You might even meet your future Co-founder, Engineering Lead, or Senior Vice President of Vibes & Alignment.
As Elon Musk could have once said, "All my success is due to drinking with other startup founders as often as possible".
This is a very casual, monthly, after-work event, in addition to our fortnightly Morning Startup meetups at Spacecubed. So if you're not a morning person, this is for you!
There will be no speakers or formalities. Just a bunch of startups, in a pub, having fun, and learning from each other.
Pizza will be provided courtesy of our amazing Morning Startup sponsors (see below), but make sure you save up ahead of time to cover the cost of your own exotic cocktails and Perth-priced-drinks.
To find us, ask the bar staff for the Founder Sundowner table and they'll point you in the right direction.
Look forward to seeing you there!
Get around our amazing sponsors!
