Perth may sometimes be called "the most remote big city in the world", but don't tell that to their burgeoning startup scene.
Since launching in this so-called "remote" city in 2013, the Founder Institute (the world’s premier startup launch program) has helped more than 40 new technology companies launch in our Perth chapter. Led by the leadership of Award-Winning FI Directors Andrew Hall, Nathan Sturcke, Nesh Sooriyan, Kate Griffiths (and former Directors Claire McGregor and Estelle Oliveri), the Perth Founder Institute has built an impressive community of Perth startup mentors and are creating some of the Country-Continent's most promising young companies.
