This month, we welcome Tracie Clark, Dr Marcus Tan, Lindsay O'Sullivan and Danelle Cross to the Spacecubed Foundation Board, bringing together their experience in innovation to grow and scale our impact across WA. These four individuals join Brodie McCulloch and Richard Kilbane who currently sit on the Spacecubed Ventures board, and we are currently working to expand our board into NSW with the opening of the Western Sydney Startup Hub.
As a locally opened and operated company, this extension to our Board allows us to extend our reach, and with Dr Marcus Tan sitting as the Spacecubed Foundation Chair, we are able to continue on our mission towards empowering 1 million entrepreneurs, changemakers and individuals by 2030.
