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:

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!

The honest mechanics of going fractional
Riff Perth, 45 St Georges Terrace, Perth, AUThe talk:
Going fractional can give founders a way to earn well, keep their skills sharp and stay connected to the market while building something of their own. But turning expertise into a credible fractional offer takes more than adding “Fractional” to a LinkedIn headline.In this practical and candid talk, Lee Goldsworthy will explain how fractional work operates: who buys it, what they are willing to pay for, and how to position your experience around a problem clients genuinely need solved. He will cover rates and pricing models, building a pipeline, winning your first clients and creating engagements that do not consume all the time and energy you intended to spend on your startup.
This session is for founders and experienced operators considering fractional work as a sustainable way to fund the build—not another form of full-time work squeezed into fewer days.
About our speaker:
Lee Goldsworthy is a Fractional CTO and Principal Advisor who runs High Growth Tech, working with VCs, and software startups/scale-ups on technology strategy, engineering delivery, and AI adoption. He's had 15 years in CTO/CPO roles before going fractional, and now advises founders and investors across the Australian innovation ecosystem. Alongside his client work he builds side projects including Genlearn and AI Orchestration Lab, and through Fractionals United, mentors other executives making the leap to fractional work.Agenda:

- 7:45 am: The honest mechanics of going fractional
- 8:30 am: Networking & delicious breakfast treats
