⚡️ Backed IRL: The Launch of Australia’s Young Backers Community

​Welcome to Backed IRL — the new home for Australia's next generation of backers.

This is for the builders, operators, founders, and creatives ready to make their first bets. Bring your sense of adventure and desire to change the future! 🫡

​Because let’s face it:
Australia has founders everywhere...
But where are the young backers? (or those with young energy and a sense of adventure 😉)
Where’s the crew making bets with big belief?
Where’s the fun, social, real-life scene for us?

​Let's change that!! 🥳 We need a young, fun community for those looking to back Australia's next wave of founders, startups, creatives & artists. Because let's face it, even a few 1000k can change early-stage people's lives.

​Backed IRL is what’s been missing.
A place for new and emerging backers to connect, learn, and grow together.

​Join us for liftoff!

​This is Day One of a new movement.

​✅ Meet the first-cheque crowd → operators, exited founders, angel-curious peers.
✅ Founder x Backer mixer → real convos, no formal pitches, actual fun!!
✅ Fireside chats → "How I made my first bet" → honest stories from new backers
✅ Drinks, vibes → We are people first. Thats where it all starts, after all.
✅ Shape what’s next → this isn’t a one-off → help co-create Australia’s new backer community! You don't need to be a mega bazillionaire to make a difference. You just need conviction.

​Who's this for?

• ​Young operators, founders and creators ready to get off the sidelines

• ​First-time or early angels looking for their people

• ​Founders who want to meet future backers

• ​Anyone who believes investing should be fun, social, and people-first

​This is the missing piece in Australia’s startup ecosystem.
We’re building it now — together.

​IRL first.
Small cheques welcome.
Big energy guaranteed.
