From Find Your Tribe Melbourne
4.7

Instagram: @findyourtribemelb Take a pause from the hustle and join us for **The Monthly Reset** \- a space for driven and ambitious people to reflect on the past month\, set fresh goals\, and connect with other growth\-minded individuals\. There’s something powerful about sharing your reflections and intentions with other growth-minded individuals. When you're surrounded by people who value progress, purpose, and self-awareness, it creates a natural sounding board for ideas, clarity, and encouragement. These kinds of conversations can help you see things differently, feel more supported, and stay aligned with the goals that truly matter to you. 🌿**MEETING POINT** Let's meet outside Botanic Gardens Visitor Centre at 2:00pm. Anyone who would like to grab a coffee can do so, then at 2:15pm, we'll take a walk around the Tan. 🤝**CONNECTION ACTIVITY** During the walk, you’ll be invited to participate in structured conversations with different partners as we rotate every 15ish minutes. We’ll provide reflection prompts to guide your discussions on: * What worked well this past month * What challenged you or stretched your limits * Intentions or goals for the month ahead * What success and balance look like for you This is a space to connect authentically, think intentionally, and feel supported by others who care about growth and alignment - both professionally and personally. 👋**NEW HERE?** Welcome! Find Your Tribe Melbourne is a community mostly around 25-40s who are passionate about connection, purpose, and personal development. We’re open-minded, respectful, and always excited to welcome new faces. Whether you come solo or with a friend, we’ll make sure you feel included and supported. Pushing outside your comfort zone can be tough, but it's where growth and friendship begin. 🌱 If you have any questions or just want to say hi before the event, feel free to message me! ⚠️**LIABILITY DISCLAIMER** By attending this event, you acknowledge that you are participating voluntarily and are responsible for your own health, safety, and well-being during the walk and any related activities. *Find Your Tribe Melbourne* and its hosts are not liable for any injury, loss, or damage that may occur.

Melbourne Co-Founder Matching: Find a Partner by Solving Real Problems

Melbourne Co-Founder Matching: Find a Partner by Solving Real Problems

Fri, Sep 11, 8:00 AM
From Startup Networking & Founder Ecosystem | Melbourne

Join founders, investors and tech talent at this curated **startup networking event in Melbourne.** Meet ambitious builders, exchange ideas and discover new opportunities in a dynamic community environment. RSVP: [Use this link](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/melbourne-co-founder-matching-find-a-partner-by-solving-real-problems-tickets-1997946737475?aff=oddtdtcreator) Please note that RSVP is managed via Eventbrite to control attendee lists — don’t ignore it to avoid issues with on-site payment. You don't find a co-founder by reading a profile. You find one by working. Two hours next to someone shows you how they think, argue and cut scope. A profile shows you nothing. So we don't do matching — we do work, and the partnership question answers itself. 🧩 YOUR PROBLEM IS ON THE BOARD BEFORE YOU WALK IN After you book, you send us one line: the problem you're bringing. By the time you arrive it's already on the board with everyone else's. The room votes, the top problems get the tables — five people, twenty-five minutes each, one problem at a time. Two minutes to explain it. Three minutes of questions only. Eight minutes while the table works on it out loud and you turn your chair around and take notes — you don't defend, you don't explain, you write. Two minutes for what you're taking away. Halfway through there's a second vote, so the problems that didn't make the first round get their turn. By the end you've worked shoulder-to-shoulder with eight to ten people. That's a filter no profile gives you. 🎯 NOBODY LEAVES WITH NOTHING Before we scatter, the host asks one question out loud: who still doesn't have an answer? Every hand gets the room's attention — and someone in it has the contact you need. 🤝 MUTUAL MATCHES ONLY You mark the people you'd build something with. We connect you only when both sides say yes, within 48 hours. No cold intros, no lists, no awkward follow-ups to people who weren't interested. 📋 ONE THING IS REQUIRED BEFORE YOU COME A three-minute form in our [Mini App](https://ascentvalley.com/community "https://ascentvalley.com/community"): your problem in one line, some context, how long it's been unresolved. Only submitted problems make the board and the vote. 👥 WHO'S IN THE ROOM Solo founders looking for a technical or commercial partner · engineers and builders who want to co-found, not take a job · product and GTM operators ready for zero-to-one · founders with a team who came to unstick something. Hosted by Andrey Krylow. He greets every guest at the door, seats you at the right table, and makes the introductions — nobody stands alone at this event. WHAT'S GUARANTEED: a curated room, two working sessions, mutual matches within 48 hours. WHAT WE DON'T PROMISE: a co-founder by the end of the evening, or a room full of investors. What we promise is the working session that tells you who's worth a second conversation. Three rules, said out loud in sixty seconds: what's said here stays here · we share experience, not advice · moving to another table mid-session is normal. Registration required. Check-in through the Ascent Valley Mini App inside Telegram: everyone you meet stays saved, matched and reachable after tonight. Ascent Valley — a founder and investor ecosystem across 21 cities.

Melbourne Startup Networking: Real Problems, Real Answers, After Work

Melbourne Startup Networking: Real Problems, Real Answers, After Work

Fri, Sep 11, 8:00 AM
From Startup Networking & Founder Ecosystem | Melbourne

Join founders, investors and tech talent at this curated **startup networking event in Melbourne.** Meet ambitious builders, exchange ideas and discover new opportunities in a dynamic community environment. **RSVP: [Use this link](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/melbourne-startup-networking-real-problems-real-answers-after-work-tickets-1997946739481?aff=oddtdtcreator)** **Please note that RSVP is managed via Eventbrite to control attendee lists — don’t ignore it to avoid issues with on-site payment.** You don't need permission to enter the startup world. You need one working session. The way into a founding team isn't an application — it's being visibly useful to someone who's stuck. This evening is built exactly for that: founders bring the problems they can't crack, and the room works on them together, five people at a time. **🎯 WHAT YOU GET OUT OF IT** Pricing, first hires, distribution, retention, churn — the things you've already solved at your job are exactly what's on the board tonight. Being the person who unlocks that conversation is how operators end up as co-founders, advisors and first hires. And you bring your own problem too: everyone here is both client and consultant. Yours can be "should I leave my job for a startup" — that's a real problem and the room has opinions worth hearing. **⚙️ HOW THE EVENING RUNS** Everyone submits one problem before the event, so the board is full when you arrive. The room votes, tables form — five people, one problem at a time. Two minutes to explain it, three minutes of questions only, eight minutes while the table works on it out loud and the author takes notes without defending. Halfway through, a second vote: the problems that didn't make the first round get their turn. **⏰ BUILT AROUND A WORKDAY** Doors at 7, structured part done by 9:10, bar open after. Home when you want. **🎤 NOBODY LEAVES WITH NOTHING** Near the end the host asks who still has no answer, and the room finds them a contact — by name, out loud. **🤝 MUTUAL MATCHES ONLY** You mark who you'd work with, we connect when it's mutual, within 48 hours. No cold lists, no awkward follow-ups. **📋 ONE THING IS REQUIRED BEFORE YOU COME** After booking you'll get a three-minute form in our [Mini App:](https://ascentvalley.com/community "https://ascentvalley.com/community") your problem in one line, some context, how long it's been unresolved. Only submitted problems make the board. **👥 WHO'S IN THE ROOM** Product, engineering, GTM and sales operators · solo founders looking for a commercial or product partner · builders exploring their next move · founders with teams who came to solve something specific. Hosted by **Andrew Krylow.** He greets every guest at the door, seats you at the right table, and makes the introductions. WHAT'S GUARANTEED: a curated room, two working sessions, mutual matches within 48 hours. WHAT WE DON'T PROMISE: a room full of investors. Some evenings have angels and scouts, some don't — better you know before you buy. Three rules said out loud: what's said here stays here · we share experience, not advice · switching tables mid-session is normal. Registration required. Contacts saved through the Ascent Valley Mini App inside Telegram — no new account. Ascent Valley — a founder and investor ecosystem across 20+ cities.
