​***Your compass to navigating Victoria's startup ecosystem***

​**Day**: Tuesday, 28th October

**Time**: 9:00am – 5:00pm

**Where**: Cremorne Digital Hub

​Melbourne's startup ecosystem is bursting with support for founders, accelerators, government programmes, investors, and community builders. But knowing who does what (and when to reach out) can feel like navigating a maze blindfolded.

​\[NEXT\] Founder Community Day brings the ecosystem to you.

​Spend the day at Cremorne Digital Hub meeting the organisations that can actually help you move forward. From early-stage validation to scaling challenges, funding pathways to market access, hear directly from the people behind Victoria's most valuable founder resources.​

​Each session cuts through the noise:  
  
✅ **Who they are** – no jargon, just clarity

​✅ **How they help founders** – real support, not just theory

​✅ **When to reach out** – so you know exactly when to make the call

​✅ **Actionable insights** – take away something you can use immediately

​Whether you're pre-revenue or scaling fast, wrestling with product-market fit or planning your next raise, this is your chance to understand the ecosystem landscape and connect with the people who can help you succeed!

​**The day includes:**

- ​Founder circles to share challenges and learn from peers
- ​Sessions with ecosystem leaders
- ​Live deck breakdown with **Antler's Leila Oliveira & Alan Tsen** – watch real pitches get honest VC feedback in real-time

​Then stick around: The programming leads straight into [The Start Up Network Pitch Night](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/fintech-pitch-night-tickets-1089436557069?aff=ebdsoporgprofile&ref=cremornedigitalhub.com.au) at 6:30pm – see founders pitch live, meet investors, and keep the momentum going over drinks.

​Spots are limited. RSVP now to map your ecosystem advantage!
