What we’re about
Adelaide Silicon Beach (ADLSB) is an informal group for anyone interested in founding or working in startups, dev/design in web/mobile tech, freelancing, mentoring, consulting, investing or working with folks in the tech/startup space. We are a diverse bunch covering all ages, backgrounds and first point of call for newcomers to the startup community. We welcome Silicon Beachers of all skill levels - those with just an idea, to post-revenue startups and everyone in between.
Even if you are curious and wondering what this startup hype is all about, you are very welcome to join. While many groups pride themselves in connecting “like minded” people, Silicon Beach is on a mission to connect people who think differently. Some of the world's greatest businesses have launched with diverse minds collaborating.
This is the second iteration of Adelaide Silicon Beach. The first group was active till October 2013 and folded up in 2017. This meetup is being opened by Silicon Beach Melbourne - Australia's most successful Silicon Beach with nearly 10,000 members.

Silicon Beach has a long history.
Want to get involved as an organiser?
Silicon Beaches are 100% volunteer run with sponsorship from small businesses and post revenue startups. We hope to hand over the organising of Adelaide Silicon Beach to a local organising team as soon as possible. We expect Adelaide startup community to do their own thing here in collaboration with the other startup groups, organisations, small businesses and service providers in the Amazing Adelaide startup eco-system. There is no fixed formulae. We are not a franchise - together, let’s find out what works best for Adelaide.
Want to sponsor us?

Sponsorships for Adelaide will be announced soon. We are searching for our business model (just like a startup!) so that we can support ADLSB and other Silicon Beach communities across the country. We are on a mission to create a connected network of startup communities across Australia.
See you on the Beach!
