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:

How to Fall in Love with the Problem, Not the Solution - with Scotty Allen
Riff Perth, 45 St Georges Terrace, Perth, AUWhy do most startups fail? It’s rarely because founders can’t build a product — it’s because they build the wrong one.
In this fast-paced 30-minute masterclass, Scotty Allen, Founder and CEO of The Product Bus, and host of The Bootstrap Podcast, will help you break free from the “solution trap” and fall in love with the problem instead.
Drawing on his experience working with startups across the spectrum, from unicorn success stories to spectacular failure, Scotty will share practical strategies for validating your idea before you waste time, money, and sanity building it.
You’ll learn:
- The “solution trap” to avoid
- How to pitch your business as a problem worth solving
- Real ways to test if your problem is actually real
- Interview tips that actually work
- One action to validate your idea TODAY
If you’re building (or thinking about building) a startup, this session will challenge your assumptions and sharpen your founder instincts.

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, 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!
