Welcome to the first Lunch Circle, part of The Collab Circle. Melbourne’s most dynamic community for high-performing business owners, founders, and professionals who are ready to level up. Hosted at the incredible Republica, St Kilda.

This isn’t just networking. It’s strategy. It’s visibility. It’s your seat at the table where powerful conversations, game-changing insights, and real collaborations happen.

We’re building circles of influence - designed to connect you with the right people, amplify your ideas, and open doors to opportunities you didn’t even know existed. Every event is carefully curated to bring together ambitious, driven professionals who want more for their business, their network, and their future.
