NO PITCHING • JUST GOOD CONVOS

THE BACK STORY

Ground Level founders are two local small business owners, Andy from The Good Machine and Athena from TechLever.

They met during a strange time, as the pandemic hit Victoria hard, and Checkpoint Charlie signs were still about in the west.

Catching up on the phone regularly to bounce ideas off each other. They recognised that this action alone, is what gave that extra bounce in their step.

In late 2021, they started a club that brought together people who shared the same fundamental value —  how can we help each other.

BUSINESS NETWORKING WITH A TWIST,

No pressure to pitch, just good conversations.

Trouble shooting is our jam.

We tackle problems you face in small business together

Our meetings have a think tank segment, where common small business problems are discussed. People can also bring up challenges to the group for discussion. People are invited to share their experiences, so that you can learn from your peers and see if those approaches might work for you. Everything is confidential unless you want it discussed.

No extra work for you.

We are the easiest, relaxed business club in Melbourne

Our 1.5 hours format cuts out intimidating networking.
You are seated with up to 10 people in a meeting.
Everyone has a voice, as each table has a host.

Support network for people who run small business and not for profits
