Startup West

All great industries have an annual event to get together and celebrate their industry. TV has the Logies, Music has the ARIA’s and the Perth startup community now has Startup West!

Startup West will kick off Perth’s very first startup festival in the freshly launched Whipper Snapper Distillery in East Perth (near Claisebrook Station).

If you’re a Perth startup big or small, young or old, or an active member of the startup community, this event is all about you! It is your passion and hustle that has helped build Perth’s growing and vibrant startup scene and we think it’s time we celebrate.

So come along for an evening of fun, food, music and drinks to celebrate your hard work throughout the year. Connect with fellow founders, technical peeps, commercialisation experts, startup groups you didn’t know about and entrepreneurs who have the ‘scars’ to show you how to be successful.
