Startup Street Social
Where Spice Alley meets Silicon Valley
In the heart of Sydney's tech central lies a vibrant, lantern-lit lane. A hidden, open-air maze paved with cobblestones and hawker markets waiting patiently for a tech takeover.
Welcome to Startup Street Social, where Spice Alley meets Silicon Valley.
Whether you are busy making the world a better place, chasing your first comma, or just someone who has been in "stealth" for suspiciously long, you will fit right in.
For one night only, we are orchestrating a street takeover of the iconic Spice Alley, transforming it into an immersive Silicon Valley themed tech playground. Dust off your Patagonia vests, Pied Piper tees, and Hooli hoodies.
🚫 No panels.
🚫 No pitching.
🚫 No awkward icebreakers.
Just the biggest startup street party Sydney has ever seen.
Come to reconnect with old friends, meet future collaborators, or simply enjoy a night where nobody asks if you have "considered adding AI." Tonight is your chance to step away from the Jira board, grab a drink, and enjoy the vibe without the coding. You work hard, and you deserve it.
We can’t promise Bachmanity Insanity, but we will be serving up banging beats, a Tres Commas tequila bar, street food (Hotdogs & Not Hotdogs) and a whole lot of…..always blue. 🔵
This event is brought to you by Ten13, OIF Ventures, Folklore Ventures, Five V Capital, and activated by Google Cloud.
