​🎄 Big Start-up Christmas Bash 🎄

​We’re throwing the ecosystem Christmas party of the year - and you’re invited.

​Think this: a room packed with founders, operators, VCs, advisors, and community champions. Cold drinks, a potential sighting of Santa, a DJ spinning tunes, and a celebration to honour the big wins, the tough lessons, and everything in between from 2025.

​✨ It’s the Big Start-up Christmas Bash, and the theme is simple: come festive. Christmas outfits, silly season energy, dressups encouraged. Bring the colour, bring the sparkle, bring the fun!

​It’s your official permission slip to take a breather, let your hair down, and toast to the year that was with your fellow startup legends.

​💥 It’s free to attend.
🍹 There’ll be drinks.
🎶 There might be music.
🎅 Santa’s people are in talks.
🌟 And of course - a few surprises to cap off the year with a bang.

​This one’s for the whole ecosystem, backed by ecosystem partners who know how to throw a party. Whether you're deep in build mode or already winding down for the year, this is the one night you won't want to miss.
