$52,000 in revenue. 26 startup founders. Only in 12 weeksπŸ‘€ ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Have we mentioned that most of them are still university students and barely in their 20s? The cohort of Bloom’s Launchpad this semester is nothing but impressive.

At a sold-out Showcase event, our finalists also had the opportunity to pitch in front of over 100 people and receiving rave reviews. Among them was the CEO of the Malka Foundation!

A standing ovation for everyone involved, especially the mentorship from these legends: Jasmin Ward and Jeroen van Dalen.

Our Story

In 2013, Bloom started as a series of meet ups for students interested in entrepreneurship, and rapidly grew from there. Fast forward to August 2015, and the BloomLab was launched at St Catherine’s College by Dr Michael Chaney AO. At Bloom we have grown to support startups, NGOs and small business operating out the of our co-working space and enrolled in the Launchpad unit. The Launchpad unit run in partnership with the University of Western Australia, allows students of any university to gain academic credit for working on their startups.

As a non-for-profit we have partnered with the University of Western Australia, Woodside, RAC and Squire Patton Boggs to deliver the support to entrepreneurs through funding and business services. We have become the first touch point for many in the Perth start up community with members and supporters present at Ivy League Incubators and in Forbes 30 under 30. We are transitioning into a centre for innovation and are always looking to expand our community.

Our vision is to create an accessible community where young ideas can thrive and entrepreneurs can grow.

Our mission is to empower young entrepreneurs with the mindset, skillset and support required to solve complex problems and create amazing things.
