Amir Aridi | Startup Community lead
State Library Victoria

I’m a startup community lead supporting thousands of Victorian founders and changemakers, and a founder with a background in civil and construction engineering, arts and cultural management, and entrepreneurship. At StartSpace, powered by State Library Victoria, I lead a world-leading startup community embedded in a public sector cultural organisation. I support thousands of founders and future founders across Victoria through free coworking spaces, a vibrant community, access to mentors, industry experts, and investors, and a suite of programs designed to help early-stage entrepreneurs grow and thrive. I’m passionate about building innovative and impactful ecosystems and helping people turn bold ideas into successful ventures.
