Get your startup on Leading Bondi Startups

One of our missions is to promote the amazing startups that call Bondi (and region) home. Check out our Bondi startups showcase page - still early in compilation.

On the page you can submit your startup or venture for consideration for the showcase. Annual premium members are featured at the top!

Industry groups: Medtech, Wellbeing, eCommerce, and more…

So we can best learn from each other we will be establishing interest groups in specific areas. For these we need someone to take the lead in organising meetups. We can support by inviting everyone in our community and promoting, potentially organising spaces, and providing an online space to communicate. You become central to the local innovation community in those spaces.

Chris Zheng will be leading the Medtech group. Please message him if interested. Message Ross Dawson if you’re interested in leading other interest groups. These could be Fitness, Wellbeing, eCommerce, Crypto/Blockchain, AI, Digital marketing, or anything else where you want to get together with people working on similar challenges and opportunities!

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, Nia and the Bondi Innovation team
