Your Questions, Answered

This is a resource for startups and is here to support the startup community.

If you are unsure if that is you, fill out the form and we can have a chat.

Is it really free

Yes, there is no cost thanks to the support of the Inner West council.

Just be reasonable in your usage.

What do I need to bring

We have monitors with HDMI, if your laptop only have USB-C make sure you bring an adapter.

Bring your own charger, we supply the power.

Which street should I park on

Ewenton is a good start, there is plenty of street parking available but it varies day to day. Just make sure you obey the street signs and respect our neighbours.

Food

We have a small kitchen with a microwave and kettle. There are cafes and a Woolworths in the area.
