StartSpace only hosts very small teams (2-3 people from the same team) and aims for member diversity across age ranges, cultural and linguistic backgrounds, genders and educational backgrounds.

Not sure if your business counts as early stage? We use the definitions in City of Melbourne’s Startup Action Plan (PDF – page 41) and LaunchVic’s Startup Framework (PDF – page 14).

If you’re a little further along in your business journey, a StartSpace Loft membership might be right for you.
