StartBNE

Go from idea to execution by surrounding yourself with community, momentum, and clarity.
A free community-driven event where everyone gets space to build their ideas with structure, energy, and real support — without the fluff, pressure, or gatekeeping.
Sometimes it’s a side hustle. Sometimes it’s a creative project. Sometimes it’s the goal you’ve been putting off.
StartBNE is Brisbane’s community for starting things — with the structure, support, and accountability you need to keep going.
We believe progress happens when people come together to share ideas, set goals, and show up for each other.
Whatever you’re starting, this is where it begins.
