Entrepreneurs Xmas Party: report and pics!

Bondi Innovation’s annual Entrepreneurs Christmas Party 2023 was a fabulous success, with many new people joining the existing community to pack out the Curlewis Bar at Hotel Bondi.

The event kicked off with an all-star panel of Annie Liao of Aura Ventures, Jonathan Barouch of Local Measure, and James Alexander of Galileo Ventures on startup opportunities, with Federal MP Allegra Spender welcoming the community, and apologies from Waverley Mayor Paula Masselos who unfortunately had Covid. A great night with many wonderful connections!!

Bondi Innovation Forum is on 10 May!

Bondi Innovation Forum 2024, our 4th in our annual partnership with Waverley Council and Bondi Chamber of Commerce delves deep into how AI can create value for small and mid-sized businesses, featuring star speakers and pratical insights in a compact event at Bondi Pavilion.

Sponsorship opportunities close shortly! Please follow up to support the Forum.

Hold the date! Morning 10 May.

Founders Lunch 12 April

A lunch gathering for startup and entrepreneurial founders in the Bondi region/ Eastern suburbs (though all are welcome wherever you live and work, not a bad place to go for a Friday lunch! 😀)

No agenda other than meeting, connecting, sharing and finding opportunities to collaborate. There will be some awesome people there.

Generative AI Leaders Lunch 3 April

After the success of our last two Generative AI Leaders events, we are growing again to a larger Generative AI Leaders Lunch on 3 April, supported by AWS.  

Join other generative AI leaders for fun, dynamic, focused conversations about current and emerging issues in Gen AI and its applications. Participants will include:

• ​Founders and investors

• ​Corporate leaders and innovators

• ​Developers and practitioners.

Note that this is NOT a learning event for those with a general interest in generative AI, it is for those at the forefront of the space.

Foundation Membership in Bondi Innovation

We will soon launch a brand new membership platform. Anyone can continue to be a member for free, but there will be many benefits to our inexpensive paid membership model. One of them is Bondi Innovation being able to do more for the community!!

We hope to offer a discounted “Foundation member” plan for those who help us kick this off. More details soon.

Events to be announced shortly!

Keep posted for events to be announced soon:

• Speaker series with amazing entrepreneurs and experts
