About LiveHaus
LiveHaus is redefining how Australia connects through business events: replacing boring, low-energy conferences with fast-paced, story-driven experiences where real conversations lead to real ROI.
Every LiveHaus event is built on one promise:
Energy first. Connections second. Outcomes third.
(Yes, in that order.)
Why Attend StartupHaus 2026
StartupHaus is where Australia’s founders, operators, investors, and venture ecosystem collide.
A high-energy after-work gathering for the people building what’s next — from seed-stage to scale-up.
Whether you’re a founder, early-stage operator, VC partner, angel investor, or ecosystem builder, this is your room to learn, connect, pitch, and grow.
What You’ll Gain
- Founder-to-founder insights on traction, GTM, fundraising, product velocity, and real execution.
- Investor access without the awkwardness – curated intros to VCs, angels, accelerators & ecosystem leaders.
- Raw, tactical stories from founders who’ve shipped, scaled, failed, rebuilt, and won.
- A premium after-work atmosphere with DJ, drinks, food, and momentum-charged storytelling.

The Experience
StartupHaus isn’t a pitch night. It’s a Founder Room where builders, operators and investors come together to sharpen ideas, pressure-test thinking and move faster.
You won’t just hear startup stories. You’ll interrogate them.
Expect:
- Honest conversations about what’s actually working
- Practical insights from founders building in real time
- Curated collisions with people who understand the journey
- Energy, momentum and clarity without the startup theatre
Because great companies aren’t built in isolation. They’re built in rooms like this.
Tickets
Paid. Limited. Intentionally curated. StartupHaus is designed for founders, early operators, investors and ecosystem builders who care about:
- Building real companies
- Making better decisions faster
- Surrounding themselves with ambitious people
This isn’t a demo day. It’s a high-signal room for people serious about what’s next.
Seats are capped to protect the quality of conversation.
Date & Venue
Date: Tuesday, 16th June 2026
Time: 5:30 PM – 9:00 PM

PS: It’s going to be one powerful founder night. We’re creating a space where founders, early operators and startup builders learn the way humans always have:
Face to face. Sharing stories. Debating ideas. Laughing. Grabbing food and drinks.
Because great companies aren’t built in isolation. Before webinars. Before Zoom. Before AI.
In an AI era, we’re bringing human learning back. Because the best growth still happens when humans meet humans. 🔥
