Is there someone missing from your startup?

Coming up with an amazing business idea is one thing, but finding the right team to help you build it is quite another.

If you've been looking for the Jobs to your Wozniak, the Larry to your Sergey, the Jane to your Gen - heck, even the Sandberg to your Zuckerberg - then you should join us for a very special event, designed to help you find your co-founder.

Who is this event for?

FOUNDERS: You have the business idea and passion, and need someone to help you build the tech, go to market or scale.

Tell us a bit about your business, style and what kind of person you're looking for, and we'll feature you and your concept on our website and throughout the evening.

SEEKERS: You've got skills, drive and you're ready to be part of something big - you're looking for a startup idea that excites you!

Give us an idea of your capabilities, values and interests, and we'll feature you on our website and facilitate introductions on the night. Get ready to meet the person who could change your entire journey.

What happens on the night?

"Hackers, Hustlers & Hipsters" by Sarah Moran, CEO Girl Geek Academy

Are you a Hipster (designer), Hacker (programmer) or Hustler (marketing type)? Maybe you're a bit of a mix?

Settle in, grab a drink and enjoy a talk by the ever-engaging and insightful Sarah Moran on the the essential building blocks of great founding teams, with plenty of stories from her personal experience as a kick-ass entrepreneur and many years working with startups.

Matchy matchy

Leading up to the event, you'll receive info about the people who have registered, so you can pre-plan who you'd like to meet.

On arrival, we'll give you a list of potential matches, and facilitate some light (introvert-friendly) networking activities to make sure you get a chance to meet the right person.

Make friends, not contacts

We're all about building this community and helping each other out - so of course there will be drinks, nibbles, door prizes, and plenty of time to chat to your new mates over the course of the evening.

So... will it be like speed dating?

Hahaha, no.

But wait, there's more.

At The Hacker Exchange, we are so passionate about helping Aussie founders build their startups that we want to support every co-founding team formed on the night.

If you and your new co-founder are still working together on 30 November 2017, you'll receive a startup support package - including education and business resources - plus we'll be offering a Founders Scholarship to a 2018 Hacker Exchange tour to Silicon Valley, exclusively available for teams that are formed on the night.

Prize package thanks to The Hacker Exchange, StartupVic and more...

See you there!
