Startup Coffee Social is a morning meetup for Sydney’s early-stage startup community: aspiring entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, pre-seed and seed founders, startup operators, and the coaches, mentors and investors who support them.
How it worksGrab a coffee and meet people you might not otherwise cross paths with. Everyone introduces themselves, shares what they’re working on, where they could use help and one way they can help others. Then the room opens up for networking. We keep it friendly and human, so you don’t need to work a crowded room or arrive with a perfect elevator pitch.
Running order
8:00am: Arrive, coffee, say hello
8:15am: Introductions around the room
8:45am: Open networking
9:30am: Close
Tickets
Standard: $5. It covers admin and helps make sure registered people turn up.
Community: free. A small number of free tickets for anyone the $5 would hold back, whether you’re an early founder, between roles, or just need it. No questions asked.
Partner: free. Reserved for founders invited by our ecosystem partners. If a partner sent you here, choose this ticket.
Good to know
Registration needs approval for every ticket type, so we can get a good mix of people in the room.
Can’t make it? Please cancel at least 48 hours before, whichever ticket you hold, so someone on the waitlist can take your place.
