What we’re about
Startup Today - where people talk about startups, tech and innovation.
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.
Startup Today is a catchup where founders, potential entrepreneurs and others in the startup community (VCs and Angels welcome) get together to learn something interesting, get feedback on ideas, vent frustrations, and meet some new friends in the game.
We look forward to seeing you there!

🕢 7:30 - 9:00 AM
📍 Stone & Chalk, Tech Central – 477 Pitt St, Sydney
☕ Coffee provided | Free to attendIn this practical Founder Morning, Josh Fourie, CTO & Founder of Decoded.AI, will walk us through how to say no to AI with confidence. You’ll learn simple, field-tested ways to quickly evaluate if an AI product is likely to help - or quietly sink your time, budget, and reputation.
Bring your coffee. Bring an AI tool you’re considering. And leave with a sharper, founder-first lens for making smart, fast decisions in an AI-flooded market.
