Meshpoints
Building a Thriving and Resilient Ecosystem
Meshpoints grew out of Spacecubed, which opened its first coworking space in Perth in 2012 and has since backed thousands of Western Australian entrepreneurs. In 2022, Spacecubed Foundation launched Meshpoints — with support from Lotterywest — to take that work beyond our own walls and strengthen the ecosystem across the whole state.
We work alongside that ecosystem to find gaps, strengthen connections, and back the initiatives that help more Western Australians innovate and thrive, regardless of sector, stage or postcode.
- 2012 - Spacecubed opens in Perth
- 2022 - Meshpoints launches, backed by Lotterywest
- 2026 - Lotterywest renews support for 3 more years
