What we’re about
Morning Startup - Perth
If you're involved in a startup, or thinking about starting one, chances are you can learn from others that are doing and thinking the same.
Morning Startup is a fortnightly morning catchup where founders, potential entrepreneurs and others in the startup community (VCs and Angels welcome) get together to learn something interesting, get feedback on idea, vent frustrations, and meet some new friends in the game.
If you're not a morning person, we also host a casual afterwork catchup on the first Wednesday of each month called Founder Sundowner.
We look forward to seeing you there!
You can contact the organisers either by sending a message through this meetup group, or via:

See all- Simple Marketing Strategy for Startups with James FitzjohnRiff, powered by Spacecubed, Perth, WA
James Fitzjohn knows a thing or two when it comes to the strategies businesses use on their way to becoming market leaders — having worked with some of the world's largest creative and digital agencies on some of the world's leading brands (Unilever, Nissan, Emirates and more).
Throughout his career, he's seen the business world become overwhelmed with complex language and jargon, and the term 'strategy' become overused and meaningless. Yet he's also observed first-hand how the lack of a clear strategy can lead to a multitude of issues.
In this talk, James will simplify the concept of 'marketing strategy' specifically. He'll offer straightforward tools and an easy-to-follow framework to help you develop an effective strategy that not only aligns with your business idea, but is vital for your startup's success.

- Founder SundownerNowhereman Brewing Co , Perth
Calling all startup founders!
On the first Wednesday of each month, let's get together for a tasty beverage or two, celebrate and/or commiserate the month that was, and share plans and ideas for the month yet to be!
You might even meet your future Co-founder, Lead Programmer, or Chief Ninja of Ideation and Crypto Research.
As Elon Musk could have once said, "All my success is due to drinking with other startup founders as often as possible".
This is a very casual, monthly, after-work event, in addition to our fortnightly Morning Startup meetups at Spacecubed. So if you're not a morning person, this is for you!
There will be no speakers or formalities. Just a bunch of startups, in a pub, having fun, and learning from each other.
Pizza will be provided courtesy of our amazing Morning Startup sponsors (see below), but make sure you save up ahead of time to cover the cost of your own exotic cocktails and Perth-priced-drinks.
To find us, ask the bar staff for the Founder Sundowner table and they'll point you in the right direction.
Look forward to seeing you there!
Get around our amazing sponsors!

- Pitch your startup!Riff, powered by Spacecubed, Perth, WA
Pitch practice is on again!
We're giving you, the upcoming new startups of Perth, a chance to practice your pitch in front of the non-intimidating and supportive Morning Startup audience.
Why pitch?
Because clearly communicating what your startup is about is an essential skill that only gets better with practice. Every pitch will teach you something about the way you tell your story, allowing you to refine it so it has an even bigger impact on the next audience.This is a great opportunity to get some practice under your belt in a casual, friendly atmosphere.
If you're reading this thinking "I should do it, but it's totally out of my comfort zone", then register to pitch now before you give yourself another excuse not to!
The plan
Each startup will get exactly three minutes to pitch (they'll be clapped out at the three minute mark), followed by a couple of minutes of questions and feedback from the audience.Only three minutes? WTF?!
Yeah, that's right. You'll need a clear, succinct pitch that clearly communicates who your customers are, the problem your solving, your unique advantage, and/or anything else that communicates your startup's value — all in under three minutes. It's totally doable.This also allows more time for insightful questions and feedback (the useful stuff!), and gives more startups the opportunity to have a go!
Here's a handy one-page pitch tool to help you gain clarity on your messaging, and who can forget this awesome presentation from Perth's own Josephine Muir on how to pitch like royalty! You might also like to check out Dave and Scott's pitching fundamentals.
Register to pitch
If you're interested in pitching, email us ASAP at contact@morningstartup.com or message us on meetup.com. Include your contact details and a short description of your startup and we'll be in touch!You must be available to pitch in person at Riff (45 St Georges Tce, Perth) between 7:30 am and 9:00 am on Wednesday April 10th.
Note: We're looking for innovative, early-stage startups or ideas. Do not apply to pitch a traditional service/business such as a business/life coach, marketing agency, accounting firm etc.
