Stone & Chalk's Ecosystem Drinks: Diversity In Tech

Stone & Chalk's Ecosystem Drinks: Diversity in Tech in partnership with Press Play Ventures and Aussie Founders Club (AFC)

Stone & Chalk's Ecosystem Drinks is Melbourne’s most famous startup community event.

Each month we open our doors to our wider community for this unique networking event. It's a fun evening where startup founders, experienced mentors, industry professionals, investors, and key ecosystem contributors gather to share a drink, chat and build connections! 

This month we're shining a light on Diversity in Tech... Diversity fosters creativity, innovation, empathy & social cohesion. Here at Stone & Chalk, we believe that everyone should have the same opportunity for success. We're excited to bring you this special edition of our Ecosystem Drinks run in partnership with Press Play Ventures & Aussie Founders Club to highlight & celebrate diversity in tech. 

This event has two parts:  

1. Co-Founder Matching event run by Press Play & AFC to help people with ideas/startups to find their perfect co-founder match. 
2. Second, as usual, there will be plenty of room to socialise with some of the most amazing people in the Victorian startup community during our Ecosystem Drinks on the Ground Floor!
