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:

Smack My Pitch Up! Startup pitch practice
Riff Perth, 45 St Georges Terrace, Perth, AUPitch practice is on again!
We're giving you, the upcoming new startups of Perth, a chance to practice your pitch in front of the non-intimidating and supportive Morning Startup audience.
Register to pitch
If you're interested in pitching, email us ASAP at contact@morningstartup.com. Include your contact details and a short description of your startup and we'll be in touch!You must be available to pitch in person at Riff (45 St Georges Tce, Perth) between 7:30 am and 9:00 am on Wednesday, November 4th.
Note: We're looking for innovative, scalable, early-stage startups or ideas. Do not apply to pitch a traditional service/business such as a business/life coach, marketing agency, accounting firm or multi-level marketing business (Amway, Herbalife etc).
The plan
Each startup will get exactly three minutes to pitch (they'll be clapped out at the three minute mark), followed by a couple of minutes of questions and feedback from the audience.The audience will also be armed with Morning Startup's pitch feedback app where they'll rate your pitch on:
- The problem: How clearly was it articulated?
- The solution: How clearly was it shown?
- The pitch overall: How effective was it?
They'll also be able to leave anonymous comments on each pitch which will be shared privately with you after the event.
You're not pitching to investors (although we can't guarantee there won't be any in the room) and you're not pitching to 'win' anything.
The idea is to get practice standing in front of people communicating your startup idea as succinctly as possible, and getting useful, constructive feedback so you can improve the next one.
Only three minutes? WTF?!
Yeah, that's right. You'll need a clear, succinct pitch that clearly communicates who your customers are, the problem your solving, your unique advantage, and/or anything else that communicates your startup's value — all in under three minutes. It's totally doable.
This also allows more time for insightful questions and feedback (the useful stuff!), and gives more startups the opportunity to have a go!Pitching tips
There are heaps of resources out there — just google 'three minute startup pitch tips' or get your favourite AI to help you out. You can also check out these previous Morning Startup events that dropped some startup pitching gold:- Josephine Muir on how to pitch like royalty

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!
Thanks to Beacham Group, Purpose Ventures, and Typeset and IdeaToLife for your support of Morning Startup and the Perth startup community!
