I'm pretty excited about @CreativeCubesCo NEW Cremorne Location opening in November | Private Offices, Coworking & Meeting Rooms C... youtu.be/3gIDXVQOJpc?si=AiDd…

Nine years ago today, we opened the doors to our first @CreativeCubesCo in Richmond. I’m usually looking forward. Building, pushing, thinking about what’s next. I rarely pause long enough to appreciate how far we’ve come. Today deserves that pause. What makes me proudest is the people who have helped us get here. To our team, past and present: thank you for the care, energy and belief you’ve put into our members. Our brands carry your fingerprints. Every welcome, every detail and every time you’ve gone the extra mile has helped shape who we are. To our members, partners and everyone who has backed us: thank you for trusting us and being part of our community. Some of you have been here since day one. Others have only recently joined. You all play a part, and I’m grateful for each of you. Nine years of building, learning and raising the bar. Plenty to be proud of. Plenty still to do. Happy birthday, CreativeCubes.Co. Here’s to the people who got us here and the next nine years together 🙌

In the latest episode of This Month in Venture, Gavin and I unpack the biggest moves, emerging trends and conversations shaping the ecosystem right now. Sharp insights, honest opinions and zero promises of becoming a unicorn overnight. Watch the latest vlog 📺👇

Pitch For A Spot #Adelaide something really stood out. I’ve hosted pitch nights across our network for years - but I’ve rarely seen a cohort of businesses with deeper talent, leadership and grit than what stepped onto the stage in Adelaide. I always knew South Australia was a progressive state. But seeing the calibre of founders, operators and leaders in the room last night validated it in real time. Founder after founder stepped up with: 💡 Bold ideas 🧠 Clear thinking 🏆 Real leadership The kind of grit you simply can’t teach No fluff. Just serious people building serious companies. That’s what makes ecosystems work. You need talent. You need belief. And you need a community that backs builders. Adelaide has that in spades. Congratulations to the winners who secured their place inside @CreativeCubesCo Adelaide. Winning the spot is just the beginning. Now the real work starts. Over the next 12 months we’ll do everything we can to surround these founders with the right environment, energy and community to help their businesses grow beyond expectations. Pitch For A Spot is about more than giving away 12 months rent-free workspace. It’s about unlocking momentum. Adelaide has the talent. Now it’s time to build greatness in South Australia. We’re all in. Shout out goes to our awesome judges Noah, Suzanne, Christian, David & Grant. Thank you for leaning in and being part of early stage greatness 🙌 . . #AdelaideStartups, #PitchForASpot, #StartupEcosystem, #Founders, #Entrepreneurship, #AdelaideBusiness, #CreativeCubes, #Innovation, #StartupCommunity, #SouthAustralia
