In 2014, a few startup founders began a Meetup group that grew until events composed of hundreds of local founders and amazing guest speakers. From this, Startup Victoria was born: a not-for-profit organisation that exists to create more founders and better founders. We’re a grassroots founder community of over 19,000 people working together to foster a world-class startup ecosystem. We support founder success. We work with our partners—co-working spaces, investors, accelerators, government, and professional startup service providers—to aggregate resources and information and share it with our members—startups and founders here in Victoria. We expose you to professional & personal development opportunities, network building, and investor engagement. Not only that, but we shine the spotlight on the diverse range of founders and startups here in Victoria and share news and information that benefits you. We have a range of programs designed to build more founders and better founders. Head to our website to learn about our Pitch Night; Founder Connect; Startup Success Series and Growth Club programs.
