    Join us on Tuesday, October 21st, 2025, at 6:00 PM AEST at The Commons QV, Melbourne for Founder Connect: September Edition presented by The Startup Network. 🚀✨

    In this edition, we'll be hearing from our friends Paul & Eleanor from OK200 unpacking: "What's the next step? Working out what your tech Startup's next move should be".

    Date: October 21st, 2025
    Time: 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM
    Venue: The Commons QV, Melbourne

    What’s the next step? Turning early-stage tech ideas into a clear plan forward.

    For founders at the start of the journey: This Q&A is for those with an idea or very early concept for a tech startup who aren’t sure how to move from inspiration, into action. Perhaps you’re starting with a completely fresh idea, or you’ve already done some early validation. Either way, it's important to figure out what to build first and how to shape a clear roadmap before committing significant time and money.

    Paul and Eleanor will explore how a clear strategy and roadmap are important to uncovering your next logical step, whether that ends up being refining the concept, building an MVP, or validating and testing with potential users.
