Founders Day - Walk & Talk
With 2027 around the corner, we’re kicking things off with something special.
Founders Day is where driven founders, operators, creators and investors connect beyond networking. Whether you run a café, a consultancy, an e-commerce brand, a creative studio or a tech startup, if you’re building something, this is your room.
Skip the forced small talk, stuffy rooms and rushed conversations. Every month, a group of Melbourne’s driven builders go for a walk in Carlton, then grab coffee. That’s the event.
You’ll walk alongside people building 5, 6 and 7-figure businesses, in a community where success goes beyond revenue, follower count or exits. Whether you’re just starting or scaling, you’ll find people to build with, grow with and invest with.
🤝 No awkward networking
We’ll pair you up with people you haven’t met yet, with questions on your phone to get the conversation going. No name tags. No panels. No pitching.
📣 Why it’s free this time
This Saturday, we’re making a big announcement. It’s something we’ve been building for the past few months. Because of that, we’re doing something special: tickets are free, until we’re full.
☕ Free coffee
The first 7 people to sign up get a free coffee on us.

About Uncommon Collective
We’re a community-led social enterprise creating migrant-friendly (not migrant-exclusive) spaces for the next generation of founders, operators and creators. We believe we’re stronger together than apart, at the intersection of merit & diversity.
Places are limited. First come, first served.
Can’t make it? Please cancel your ticket so someone else can have your spot.
All founders, operators, creators and investors are welcome. If it rains, we’ll meet at a café.
