How we innovate is changing, and fast.
Technology, access, and expectations have reshaped when, where and how people build ideas. But what hasn’t changed is what it takes to turn those ideas into something real: support, community, and the right opportunities at the right time.
Spacecubed was founded 14 years ago in Perth with a clear mission: to support 1 million entrepreneurs, innovators and changemakers tackling some of the biggest economic, technological and social challenges of our time.
Since then, we’ve built spaces, programs and partnerships that have helped thousands of people start, grow and evolve their ideas, while lowering the barriers to getting started in the first place.
We’ve brought together startups, corporates, government and not-for-profits to create environments where ideas can move forward, whether they succeed, fail, or evolve into something entirely new.
Today, Spacecubed is home to members all across Australia. We operate 6,500 square metres of coworking space, have supported 169 startups through pre-accelerator programs and 57 through our flagship Plus Eight Accelerator. We’ve invested over $4.3 million directly into local startups, and helped facilitate more than $30 million in follow-on investment, with a portfolio now valued at over $230 million. Through Meshpoints, we’ve supported 94 community initiatives with $2.75 million in devolved grant funding, reaching over 14,000 Western Australians.
We’ve built a model that works. Now we’re ready to scale it.
This brand refresh marks the beginning of our next chapter, evolving from a single ecosystem into a connected platform built around four pillars: Locations, Programs, Ecosystem and Capital.
Each location across Perth and Western Sydney will increasingly lean into its role as a vibrant hub for meetups, programming and founder support, a place where the community comes together to learn, connect and build. Alongside this, our spaces will continue to operate as creative, supportive workspaces for professionals and teams, delivering the same high-quality experience our members know and value.
We’ve also made it easier than ever to navigate support and funding pathways across the ecosystem. From early-stage idea validation with Lotterywest IdeaStarter through to seed funding and investment via programs like Plus Eight Accelerator, founders can now access clearer, more connected pathways to capital, mentorship and growth support at every stage of their journey.
What will never change, is the community, the people and the energy.
If you’re a member or part of our ecosystem, your day-to-day experience stays the same. Same spaces. Same team. Same commitment to helping you grow.
This refreshed brand is just the first signal of a broader shift. Over the coming months, expect to see new programs, events, meetups and announcements all designed to deepen how we support founders, innovators and organisations across Australia.
Our ambition is to build permanent, Spacecubed-owned innovation infrastructure in every major Australian city, scaling what we’ve learned over the past 14 years into something much bigger.
The next chapter has started, and there’s space for you in it.
