We’re excited to welcome 11 ambitious founders into the AI Founder Sprint, delivered by Plus Eight in partnership with Superteam Australia and Solana.
Following a great kick off session, the new cohort is ready to turn AI-powered ideas into action through eight weeks of practical learning, connection and support. Designed specifically for founders building AI-first products and businesses, the Sprint gives participants the tools, guidance and network they need to build, test and refine their ideas while laying the foundations for their next stage of growth.
Over the six weeks, participants will take part in weekly sessions at Spacecubed, exploring topics including agentic AI and autonomous workflows, building AI-native products and businesses, rapid prototyping and shipping with AI, as well as go-to-market, fundraising and scaling. Alongside the sessions, founders will connect with experienced operators, mentors and investors as they continue developing their businesses.
The journey will culminate in a Demo Night on 24th September, where participants will have the opportunity to showcase their businesses, share what they’ve built and celebrate their progress with the wider Perth innovation community.
