Plus Eight Demo Night 2026

Ten years ago, Plus Eight backed its first cohort of founders. This November, we're marking that milestone with our biggest Demo Night yet. Nine startups from our 10th cohort have spent the past six months building, refining and testing their businesses. Next up, they’ll head to San Francisco this October to connect with global investors, founders and industry leaders, before returning to Perth ready to bring everything they’ve learned to the Regal Theatre stage this November, backed by a $1 million investment pool. Taking the stage: Romi, TradieScribe, RecruitMate AI, Momentify, TRUXE, OreNova Engineering, Ocean Hex, Semester Student Planner and CaseMate. Read the full Phase Two story here to see who's pitching and learn more about each founder's journey. Demo Night sells out every year. This one marks ten years of founders building global businesses, so expect a packed house. Registration is free, but seats are strictly limited, so secure yours early. Plus Eight Accelerator is proudly supported by the Department of Energy and Economic Diversification, Spinifex, BetterLabs, Kaizen West, CFC Group, Hawaiian, Entrepreneur Trainer Andy Ford, DFK Gooding Partners, Insight Advisory Group, K&L Gates, and the City of Subiaco as our event partner. Since 2016, Plus Eight has helped Perth startups go global, from a seed-funded accelerator to a program with over $5.4M invested, $38M+ in follow-on investment and a $249M+ portfolio valuation.
