This Week for Startup Melbourne

Speed Mentoring by Startup Melbourne - 23rd February, Melbourne
Speed dating. But for startups.

Come down for Startup Melbourne's inaugural networking event where budding entrepreneurs will have the chance to learn, pitch and collaborate with some of Australia's most accomplished startup minds.

You will get the chance to talk about your business with Venture Capitalists, Virtual CFOs, and General Managers of some of Australia's most well known startups in one intense round of mentoring after another!

Mixed with Peer-to Peer sessions, the aim is to connect people who identify with the grind, hustle and growth of entrepreneurship, while in the process helping each other come to collaborative solutions.
