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:

Stop Writing Code like it's April 2026!
Riff Perth, 45 St Georges Terrace, Perth, AUSoftware is no longer written by people alone, so why are we still running our SDLCs as if it is?
In this talk, Aidan Morgan will draw on twelve months of hands-on experimentation with agentic engineering teams assembled for an AI-first delivery model.
He’ll introduce a mental model for AI-first delivery, share how he’s using deterministic tooling to create fast, automated backpressure to keep agents on track, and challenge some long-held assumptions about software delivery.
If you’ve been wondering how to move beyond “AI-assisted coding” and into genuinely agentic software delivery, this one’s for you.

Founder Sundowner
Otherside of Nowhere, 25 Harrogate Street, West Leederville, AUDATE CHANGE!!!
This Founder Sundowner has been moved to the following Wednesday (May 13th) as Otherside of Nowhere have an event on and need to shift us!Calling all startup founders!
On the first Wednesday of each month (but note the date change above for this one!!), 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!
