startup Community Events
Rampersand events are for founders and operators building ambitious companies looking for good people, great conversations and network connections that can open the right doors.
We host everything from casual coffees to focused product sessions, designed to help you meet others in the ecosystem, swap notes, and walk away with something genuinely useful.

Product Counsel Events
The Rampersand Product Counsel (RPC) is unlike any product community in Australia. It is a high-calibre network of founders, product leaders, and operators who’ve built and scaled product-led companies - many to unicorn status.
While most Product Counsel events are closed to the general public, we host open events a few times a year, which always sell out well in advance, so keep your eyes peeled for the next one.
Past Events
But First, Coffee is exactly what it sounds like: a relaxed morning catch-up for founders and operators over coffee. You can expect great coffee and conversation, headlined by two smart people building and leading exceptional companies.
These events happen every couple of months in Melbourne and Sydney and are supported by our friends at AWS for Startups.
BUT FIRST, COFFEE
Past Events
Connecting with active investors can be painfully slow and just getting a first meeting can be frustratingly difficult.
That’s why we created Giant Warm Intro (GWI), Australia’s leading program connecting early-stage founders with the country’s most active investors.
