Friday @ The Pillars | Currents Sydney (Invite Only)
A private drinks session for founders, investors, and partners shaping the next chapter of Currents and Startup Striders.
This is an invite only Currents session in Sydney designed to bring together a small group of founders, investors, Startup Striders & Currents ambassadors, and potential partners who align with how we build community.
This is not a public networking event.
There is no pitching, no panels, and no forced introductions.
It is a chance to experience how the Currents community works in real life. High quality rooms, intentional conversations, and meaningful connections that carry beyond the event.
This afternoon also serves as a test run for Friday @ The Pillars, similar in format to Friday @ Mondrian on the Gold Coast, as we expand Currents nationally and into New Zealand.
What to expect
• Curated room of founders, operators, investors, and partners
• Drinks and relaxed conversation in a premium setting
• AI matching used to place people next to the right conversations
• A natural, non networking environment designed for real connection
• Opportunity to understand how Currents supports founders and investors across Sydney, Gold Coast, and soon New Zealand
Partner conversations (by invite)
For select partners, there will be 15 to 30 minute private time slots before the event to explore potential partnerships for 2026.
These conversations are for brands and businesses interested in becoming paid partners and integrating into the Currents and Startup Striders ecosystem across Sydney, the Gold Coast, and soon New Zealand.
Partnerships are limited and intentionally aligned. This is about long term fit and meaningful integration, not logos or surface level sponsorships.
If you would like to receive the partnership overview and explore a time slot, please email [email protected] with a short introduction and how you see alignment. I will personally review and follow up where there is a strong fit.
Who this is for to attend Friday @ The Pillars
• Startup Striders ambassadors
• Founders building serious businesses
• Founders who have exited
• Active investors
• Strategic partners aligned with community led growth
Attendance is capped. This is intentional.
