What does it actually take to build a business that can grow beyond the founder?

Jesse Emia, founder of KeepSpace, has been part of the Morning Startup community for more than 15 years, supporting the meetup as a sponsor, regular attendee and long-time contributor to Perth’s startup ecosystem. Now based in Melbourne, Jesse is in town renovating their Perth facilities, so we've jumped on the opportunity to grab him for another one of his infamous, no-bs, talks!

In this session, Jesse will go deep into the internal operating system behind KeepSpace: the structure, team, culture, planning rhythms and decision-making processes that have helped the company grow into a resilient, multi-million dollar business.

Jesse’s talks are known for being candid, practical and almost uncomfortably transparent. Expect a rare look inside the actual day-to-day mechanics of building a company, including how KeepSpace approaches financial transparency, salaries, OKRs, team alignment, annual planning, weekly reviews and focusing everyone on the work that matters most.

Jesse will share how KeepSpace has built structure around vision, projects, workflow and people, and how those systems help the team stay aligned while navigating changing markets, economic pressure, COVID, hype cycles and the rise of AI.

If you’re building a startup and want more than high-level advice, this is a chance to see the real operational detail behind a company that has had to become stronger, clearer and more resilient over time.
