Founders Day - Walk & Talk

We've been building something for six months. You'll be the first to hear about it.

Founders Day is where tech and impact-led founders, operators and creators connect beyond networking.

Skip the forced small talk, stuffy rooms and rushed conversations. Every month, a group of Melbourne's driven founders, operators and creators go for a walk through Carlton Gardens, then grab coffee and brunch. That's the event.

You'll walk alongside founders and operators building 5, 6 and 7-figure+ businesses, in a community where impact goes beyond revenue, follower count or exits. Whether you're early-stage or scaling, if you're building something meaningful in tech or impact, this is your room.

No name tags. No panels. No agenda beyond showing up, walking together and having conversations that actually go somewhere.

📣 There's something else…

At the end of the walk, we're sharing a big announcement. It's something Uncommon Collective has wanted to build for a long time.

It won't go public on social media until mid-November. If you're here, you'll hear it first, and if it's for you, you can grab a spot before anyone else. We're also keeping something special aside for the first few people who join.

🎟 Why it's free this time

Because we want as many founders as possible in the room when we share it. This one is our thank-you to the community that got us here.
