Build Club partners with Victoria's leading coworking founder hub StartSpace

We are excited to announce Build Club's new partnership with StartSpace, Victoria's leading and entirely coworking hub at the State Library Victoria, to host our monthly weekend sessions for the Melbourne AI builder community.

This partnership marks a significant milestone in Build Club's mission to foster a thriving AI ecosystem in Melbourne, providing our community with access to a prestigious and central location in the heart of the city. Importantly, these weekend sessions make it possible for those balancing 9-5 jobs to actively participate in the AI builder community without conflicting with their work commitments.

StartSpace is a community and coworking hub at the State Library Victoria, designed to support early-stage founders and entrepreneurs. They provide access to resources, mentoring, and networking opportunities to help turn business ideas into reality. Whether you're just starting out or looking to grow, StartSpace offers a vibrant environment to connect, learn, and thrive.

"These sessions represent a fantastic opportunity for Melbourne's AI community to come together, share knowledge, and build together," says Xavier Andueza, Melbourne Build Club Co-Lead. "The central location and comprehensive facilities at StartSpace create the perfect environment for collaboration and innovation. Whether you're seeking feedback on your latest project, looking to overcome technical challenges, or simply wanting to connect with fellow builders, these sessions are designed to help you move forward."

Annie Liao, Build Club founder, shares her enthusiasm: "I'm incredibly excited about this partnership with StartSpace. Having a dedicated space in such an iconic location for our Melbourne AI community is a game-changer. This aligns perfectly with our mission of making AI building accessible to everyone, and I can't wait to see the collaborations and innovations that will emerge from these sessions."

To get the most out of these sessions, participants will need to register as StartSpace members through their website. While non-members can participate in the first part of the day, full StartSpace membership (which is free) allows you to stay for the entire session, maximizing your opportunity to:

• Network with fellow AI builders and entrepreneurs

• Get hands-on help with technical challenges

• Receive valuable feedback on your projects

• Showcase what you're building to the community

• Collaborate with like-minded individuals in a premium workspace

• Access State Library Victoria's extensive resources

• Participate in focused building and learning sessions

This partnership further strengthens Build Club's growing presence in Melbourne, offering our community another valuable resource for their entrepreneurial journey in an environment specifically designed for collaboration and growth.

For those interested in joining our monthly sessions at StartSpace, we’d highly recommend applying to become a StartSpace member at StartSpace's website.
