Building Spacecubed for 2020

I am sure, like me, you are working hard to get everything organised before going on a well-deserved break! But before then, it would be great to see you at the Spacecubed Christmas Party (Members and partners only for this one) on Friday night where we can celebrate the close of another year. 

2019 has been a big year for Spacecubed, kicking off with the renovation and move into Riff ground floor in January, and now with the new coffee shop and lobby refit everything has really come together to provide an amazing space for members. 

We also opened our first managed space with Murdoch University in November which is already bustling with activity. In 2020, we have some new spaces for members to enjoy which we look forward to sharing with you all in the coming months. 

The programs Spacecubed run and support have continued to grow, with West Tech Fest taking place last week which had Spacecubed sponsoring a range of events and programs including the Profound Incubator, Startup Weekend, Freo Startup Fest, Rotto Tech fest and many more. 

Plus Eight Accelerator applications are now open for 2020, with new partners. The Plus Eight portfolio of companies is performing really well with the 18 companies raising an additional $7m and valued at over $40m. Spacecubed, along with partners, invests in each of these companies with the funds paid by you, for both space and events, so you are directly assisting the support of Startups in WA. If you know someone with a big idea and some early traction, please share Plus Eight Accelerator with them so they can apply over the holidays. 

Something I am very excited about is the rollout of our new members online platform, which is already getting great feedback from early users who are using it to book meeting rooms, manage accounts, and connect with other members. 

Our technology has been something we have been working on to see how we can add value to our members and ensure you can self manage your account. We will be providing our platform to other spaces (even whole buildings!) to manage their spaces and collaboration within their communities. This means by mid-2020 Spacecubed members will be able to access a range of coworking, meeting and flexible office spaces across WA. 

Thank you to the Spacecubed team as they continue to take on your feedback and grow our spaces, programs and support for members so feel free to give them a high five at the Christmas party on Friday as it has been a big year and they have done a great job. 

I also want to say a big thank you to our members and partners for their continued support through using our spaces, coming to events, supporting programs and contributing back to the Spacecubed community.

Spacecubed is Western Australian owned and operated, and every dollar you spend with us is being put back into supporting WA through the above spaces, programs, platform and the broader WA community. 

You can see that impact in our Annual Report and without you, all the above things would not be possible and we look forward to working with you in 2020. We are always looking to grow our impact so if you would like to partner please feel free to contact me.

Have a great Holidays and New Year and look forward to seeing you in 2020!
