Learn more about Kristen and who she'd like to connect with below. **What ideas are you exploring at the moment? What are you working on?** CoreData is a global market research consultancy. We help companies grow by better understanding their customers. At the moment a big focus among clients is engagement – how you can cut through the noise to make more meaningful connections with your customers? So a lot of the research and data visualisation we do aims to support them to achieve that goal. **What do you enjoy most about the Spacecubed community?** Meeting interesting, like-minded people who are working on inspiring ideas. Business connections are a bonus, but just working in a collaborative environment where everyone is trying to grow successful businesses makes it an enjoyable space to be in. **How did your startup journey begin?** I’m a little bit different to a lot of Spacecubed members in that I’m working for a global business that has been around for 15 years on the east coast. My challenge is to build our client base here in WA. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to grow a business without any of the usual risk of a new venture! **Who would you like to connect with most?** C-suite execs and decision makers in service-based companies. Anyone who needs research-driven insight to help them acquire, retain or engage customers. In saying that, I’m open to having a coffee with anyone as I really appreciated so many people giving up their time to meet with me when I was re-establishing myself in Perth recently after moving from Sydney. **Can you share with us a success story you've achieved during your time at FLUX?** We recently did some work for CORE Innovation Hub. That was a direct result of relationships made through the FLUX community, so I see it as a win not just for CoreData but for co-working as well. **What do you hope to achieve in 2017?** Continue to grow our client base in Perth and drive referral-based business growth in this market. **For more information about CoreData Group click [here](http://www.coredata.com.au/).** SPACECUBED ![SC_Primary-Horizontal_Colour_Dark](https://blog.spacecubed.com/hubfs/SC_Primary-Horizontal_Colour_Dark.svg) Connecting Ideas, People & Capital ### Locations - [Perth](https://www.spacecubed.com/locations/perth) - [Western Sydney](https://www.spacecubed.com/locations/western-sydney) - [All Locations](https://www.spacecubed.com/locations) ### Programs - [Plus Eight](https://www.spacecubed.com/programs/plus-eight) - [Landing Pad](https://www.spacecubed.com/programs/landing-pad) - [All Programs](https://www.spacecubed.com/programs) ### Ecosystem - [Meshpoints](https://www.spacecubed.com/ecosystem) - [Challenges](https://www.spacecubed.com/ecosystem) ### Capital - [IdeaStarter Fund](https://www.spacecubed.com/capital#ideastarter) - [Alumni Syndicate](https://www.spacecubed.com/capital#alumni) - [All Capital](https://www.spacecubed.com/capital) ### Tools & Resources - [Reports & Research](https://www.spacecubed.com/resources#reports) - [Member Benefits](https://www.spacecubed.com/resources#benefits) - [Passport Program](https://www.spacecubed.com/resources#passport) - [WA Ecosystem Navigator](https://www.spacecubed.com/resources#navigator) ### About - [Our Story](https://www.spacecubed.com/about) - [Foundation](https://spacecubed.com/foundation/) - [Blog](https://blog.spacecubed.com/) - [Contact](https://www.spacecubed.com/contact) © 2026 Spacecubed.
