We’re excited to introduce the latest cohort of founders taking part in our latest Plus Eight City of Joondalup Pre-Accelerator, a six-week program designed to support local entrepreneurs in building, validating and growing their business ideas.

Delivered by Spacecubed through our flagship Plus Eight program, and proudly supported by the City of Joondalup, this pre-accelerator brings together early-stage founders for an intensive experience focused on real progress. Through expert mentorship, hands-on workshops and peer collaboration, participants are supported to refine their ideas, test their assumptions and build momentum.

Over the past few weeks, founders have been working closely with mentors and advisors to strengthen their business models, better understand their customers, and move their ideas closer to market. Now, they’re preparing to take the next big step; showcasing their businesses live to the community.
