Co-Founder Roulette - Sip & Scale Melbourne
Find your next co-founder in Melbourne.
We're kicking off Sip & Scale Melbourne with a Co-Founder Roulette, hosted in collaboration with Startup Link UniMelb.
Meet potential co-founders, exchange ideas, and find someone you might build your next startup with.
You'll take part in three rounds of 20-minute conversations, meeting someone new each round. We'll match participants based on their interests, skills, and what they're looking to build.
Who should apply?
Student founders, builders, aspiring entrepreneurs, and anyone looking for a co-founder or interested in joining an early-stage startup.
You don't need to be a university student to apply.
