FORGE Founders Walk & Coffee | Albert Park 5K

Good coffee. A 5k walk. Better company.

FORGE is a social club for founders and operators actively building real businesses - and this is our very first event.

We’re meeting at 9am at Space Cafe on Fitzroy Street to grab a coffee before heading out for a relaxed 5k walk around Albert Park Lake.
Along the way, we’ll mix things up a few times so you get the chance to meet and chat with plenty of people, without the awkwardness of walking into a room and trying to “network”.
After the walk, we’ll finish back at Space Cafe, where anyone who wants to can stick around for brunch.

Who's it for?
People who are actively building and running businesses and want to meet others who understand the highs, lows and occasional chaos that comes with it.
You don’t need to be running a huge company. But you should be in the arena; building, operating and taking your business seriously.
This probably isn’t the right event if you’re looking for a job, exploring your first business idea, or primarily hoping to pitch or sell your services.
Come to meet peers, not prospects.
