About us

Technovator Melbourne is a long-established community for people involved in technology startups, innovation and entrepreneurship.

Over many years, the group has provided a place for Melbourne founders, startup teams, developers, designers, investors, freelancers and technology professionals to meet, exchange ideas and build useful connections.

The community welcomes people interested in:
• Founding or joining a technology startup
• Software, web, mobile, AI and emerging technologies
• Product development and design
• Entrepreneurship and innovation
• Investment and startup funding
• Freelancing and independent consulting
• Meeting others within Melbourne’s technology ecosystem

Technovator is built around social learning and genuine face-to-face connections. Future events may include startup presentations, founder discussions, practical panels, technology demonstrations and informal networking.

The group has hosted hundreds of events throughout its history. It is now entering a new phase under independent management, with its future event program currently being reviewed.

Please remain a member to receive details when new Melbourne events are announced.
