Morning Startup - Perth

About the Event
This isn’t Shark Tank—it’s Morning Startup, where pitches are fast, fun, and full of community spirit. We’re trialling our classic pitch format with a for-good twist: social enterprises, NFPs, and purpose-driven founders will share their three-minute ideas for making the world better. Expect supportive questions, sharp judge reflections, and plenty of practical offers from the floor—because at Morning Startup, nobody gets eaten, but good ideas definitely get fed.

Who it’s for

• Social enterprises, NFPs, and mission-driven founders (idea to growth)
• Community members keen to help with skills, intros, pilots, and practical support

How it works

• 3 minutes to pitch (you’ll be clapped out at 3:00)
• 2 minutes of audience questions and constructive feedback
• Judges’ reflections - bringing their NFP & social enterprise experience
• Community offers from the floor (skills, intros, pilot partners, resources)

Want to pitch?
Have a social enterprise, NFP initiative, or purpose-led startup? Share your 3-minute pitch with the non-intimidating, supportive Morning Startup community and get real-time feedback plus hands-on offers to help. You’ll make a clear ask of the community (not just $$), and our experienced social enterprise judges will share quick reflections to sharpen your next steps.

What to ask for - think beyond funding!
• Developers/designers/product & data help
• Pilot partners/customers (schools, councils, health, community orgs)
• Intros to mentors/advisers/board members
• Marketing/storytelling support
• Software credits/tools
• Volunteers for user testing, service design, or impact measurement.

Calling 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, Lead Programmer, or Chief Ninja of Ideation and Crypto Research.

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!
