Ecosystem Mixer: Community Island

Meet the people behind Melbourne's grassroots startup communities and find the specific circle that'll actually support what you're building.

Stone & Chalk and Cremorne Digital Hub are hosting their first collaboration as a structured meet between the city's grassroots communities. You'll hear from leaders across ten established groups, MLAI to Humans of Australia, about the tangible ways their networks drive growth and connection. The format mixes a fast-paced panel discussion with People Bingo, a deliberate icebreaker designed to surface unexpected connections across the room. Come if you're a founder seeking collaborators or sounding boards, an investor looking beyond your usual circles, or anyone trying to figure out which Melbourne community actually aligns with what you're building. Food and drinks keep the night moving while you build.
