The Startup Network needed a brand that could celebrate the vibrant community and reflect their core focus areas: resources, connections, education. Formally Startup Victoria, their existing identity was consistently confused with government initiatives and seen as outdated.
Inspired by a wristband we created an identity that can stretch across audiences and takes a decisive step away from government ties.

Post re-brand, the Startup Network have expanded their reach beyond Victoria, introduced new formats such as their yearly day conference, Future Horizons and their community is thriving.

All work was conceptualised and executed on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. I pay my respects to Elders past and present.
Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
