The Bondi AI Collective is building with a fabulous community and great insights at our meetup each month.

This Tuesday we will have:

• A tutorial on how to build your own AI Avatar by Rupert Chesman.

• Kunal Gupta will lead a group sharing discussion on vibe coding, starting with an example of how he has used Lovable to quickly build a solid app.

If you’re into AI make sure to join us!

Founders Lunch - Friday 18 April

Our last Founders Lunch was wonderful, so we’re aiming to do this regularly. Also considering doing some dinner gatherings if there’s sufficient interest, let us know!

Bondi Tratt is one of the best lunch experiences around, with spectacular views and great food.

Come and meet other inspiring founders. Not just for Bondi folk, also for entrepreneurs who need a good Friday lunch!!

Walk & Talk - Friday 25 April

Enjoy the big outdoors with inspiring entrepreneurs as we walk to Tamarama and back on one of the most famous paths in the world, talking entrepreneurship, life and community.

Bondi innovator story: Pete Solway of Founder Sales Solutions

Hi 👋,

Over the last 15 years (the last 4 of them from Bondi Junction), I’ve founded multiple businesses and built sales teams from scratch.

In previous businesses, I’ve raised over $650k and hit 135% of revenue targets as a first sales hire. In 2021, I started Founder Sales Solution with a mission to help small business owners:

• make more sales

• reduce the first sales hire failure rate,

• and see them achieve their goals and personal vision.

We’re running Founder Sales Solution from Wotso, Bondi Junction. Come say hey if you’ve ever got any B2B sales questions.

Help grow the community!

Please support us, by coming to our events, telling the right people about Bondi Innovation, connecting us with anyone who has energy to help make good things happen for the community.

See you at one of our events soon!

Ross, Lou, Marta and the Bondi Innovation team
