    Strengthening the ecosystem behind WA’s innovators and entrepreneurs

    Meshpoints brings together the people and organisations working to build a stronger culture of innovation and entrepreneurship across Western Australia.

    Through our Partner Network, Fund and WA Innovation Ecosystem Navigator, we connect organisations, invest in initiatives that respond to shared ecosystem needs, and make it easier to discover the support and opportunities available across WA.

    Our approach is collaborative. We work alongside the ecosystem to identify gaps, strengthen connections and support initiatives that create meaningful, lasting impact, helping more Western Australians access the opportunities they need to innovate and thrive, regardless of their sector, stage or postcode.

    Powered by Spacecubed and supported by Lotterywest, Meshpoints was established in 2022, with funding renewed in February 2026 for a further three years.

    Our story

    14 years of backing WA entrepreneurs

    Meshpoints grew out of Spacecubed, which opened its first coworking space in Perth in 2012 and has since supported thousands of entrepreneurs. Spacecubed Foundation was set up as a charity to take that work beyond its own spaces and programs.
