**The Experience**
StartupHaus isn’t a pitch night. It’s a Founder Room where builders, operators and investors come together to sharpen ideas, pressure-test thinking and move faster.
You won’t just hear startup stories. You’ll interrogate them.
Expect:
- Honest conversations about what’s actually working
- Practical insights from founders building in real time
- Curated collisions with people who understand the journey
- Energy, momentum and clarity without the startup theatre
Because great companies aren’t built in isolation. They’re built in rooms like this.
---
**Tickets**
Paid. Limited. Intentionally curated. StartupHaus is designed for founders, early operators, investors and ecosystem builders who care about:
- Building real companies
- Making better decisions faster
- Surrounding themselves with ambitious people
This isn’t a demo day. It’s a high-signal room for people serious about what’s next.
Seats are capped to protect the quality of conversation.

**Date & Venue**
Date: Tuesday, 24th March 2026Time: 5:30 PM – 9:00 PMVenue: The Commons (Sydney CBD)

**Powered By**
Hosted by **LiveHaus – Where energy meets ROI.**
**PS:** It’s going to be one powerful founder night. We’re creating a space where founders, early operators and startup builders learn the way humans always have:
Face to face. Sharing stories. Debating ideas. Laughing. Grabbing food and drinks.
Because great companies aren’t built in isolation. Before webinars. Before Zoom. Before AI.In an AI era, we’re bringing human learning back. Because the best growth still happens when humans meet humans. 🔥

March Build Club Perth : Workflow Automations
Perth builders—it’s time to level up your automation game. 🚀
For the March edition of **Build Club Perth**, we’re moving beyond simple prompts and diving deep into **Workflow Automations.**
Ever wanted to get a squad of AI agents working for you? We’ll be using tools like **CrewAI Studio** to get multi-agent systems up, running, and actually productive. 🛠️
This isn’t a "sit and listen" lecture. Come ready to build, break things, and tackle the challenges we’ve set for the night.
**The Essentials:**
📍 **Where:** Hosted by our friends at Bloom Bentley
🕒 **When:** Monday 23rd March 5:30pm
💧 **Bring:** Your laptop and a water bottle.
⚠️ **Note:** In-person only! Please only RSVP if you can stay for the session.
Huge thanks to our supporters: WADSIH, Curtin Entrepreneurs, DDD Perth, and AI.SEA for making this happen.

A Hands-On (OpenClaw) Workshop to Build Revenue-Generating AI Agents
A 5-hour hands-on (OpenClaw) workshop on building AI agent systems that actually run your business, not just generate content.
In this small, limited-capacity working session, you won’t just learn about agents, you’ll design, build, and deploy them against your real workflows. We’ll audit your operations, identify where time and decisions get stuck, and turn those recurring tasks into autonomous systems.
Because the group is intentionally small, you’ll get direct feedback on your specific processes, live troubleshooting as you connect real data sources, and hands-on guidance as you move from a single agent to a working multi-agent system.
---
## Stop prompting. Start orchestrating.
Most AI workshops teach you to write better prompts or generate social posts. This one is different.
You'll build AI agent systems that monitor your operations, surface problems before they cost you, and automate the work that's eating your week without writing code.
Bring a real business. Leave with a working system.
---
## Led by a YC-Backed Founder
This session is run by [Jason Zhang](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-zhang-212998315/), a second-time founder backed by Y Combinator, General Catalyst, and Sequoia. He’s built and shipped real AI products, not just experimented with tools.
---
## What You'll Build
**1. Operations that run without you checking.**
Agents that pull your key data, flag what's off, and tell you why before month-end.
**2. Process audits that find the leaks.**
Map your workflows, identify where things stall, and automate the low-judgment tasks dragging your team down.
**3. Decision support, not just dashboards.**
An agent that synthesizes your sales data, customer feedback, and market signals into a weekly brief with recommended actions.
**4. Internal knowledge that scales.**
A system your team can query instead of pinging you for every answer, SOP, or onboarding question.
**5. Opportunity and risk surfacing.**
Agents that scan competitors, customer conversations, and industry shifts so you're proactive instead of reactive.
---
## The Agenda
**10:00–10:30 — Why Agents, Not Prompts**
The difference between asking AI for help and giving it a job. Live demo of a working agent system so you see the end state first.
**10:30–11:15 — Audit Your Operations**
Map your own workflows. Identify where things stall, leak time, or depend entirely on you. This is where your business meets the material.
**11:15–12:15 — Build Your First (OpenClaw) Agent**
Hands-on. Everyone builds one agent tied to a real workflow they identified. Not hypothetical.
**12:15–1:00 — Lunch + Open Build Time** Eat, keep tinkering, ask questions, share what's working. A complimentary lunch is included as part of your ticket.
**1:00–2:00 — Multi-Agent Systems**
Add more agents for different roles. Layer in monitoring and reporting. Move from one task to an ongoing system.
**2:00–2:45 — Deploy and Stress-Test**
Run it with real data, find the gaps, refine. Leave with something that actually works — not a demo that falls apart Monday.
**2:45–3:00 — What to Do Next Week**
Concrete next steps so the system doesn't die in 48 hours.
---
## What to Bring
- A laptop and charger
- A free [Tensol](https://www.tensol.ai) account (create this before you arrive)
- Your key business data accessible in one place (Google Drive folder, Notion workspace — just not scattered across 15 places)
- A list of your core recurring workflows (onboarding, fulfillment, reporting, support even rough notes count)
---
**By the end of five hours, you'll have live AI employees monitoring, surfacing, and automating the work that used to eat your week.**
---
# FAQ
**Do I need to know how to code?** Not at all. This workshop is designed for founders, operators, and creators who want to use AI without touching a terminal.
**What exactly is an "AI Agent" compared to ChatGPT?** ChatGPT is a chatbot, you talk to it, it talks back. An AI agent is a worker. You give it a goal, a role, and a set of tools, and it executes autonomously. In this workshop, we move from chatting to building a team of agents that handle real operational tasks.
**What should I have ready before I arrive?** A free [Tensol](https://www.tensol.ai/) account, your business data in one accessible place, and a rough list of your recurring workflows. That's it.
**Will I actually leave with something working?** That's the goal. This isn't a lecture. By the end of the session, you'll have AI employees deployed and connected to your actual tools and workflows.
**What kind of businesses is this for?** Any business with recurring operations, agencies, e-commerce, SaaS, creator businesses, consulting. If you have workflows that repeat weekly, there's something here for you.

Pitch Circuit: Core - Build Club x Arrayah
20 builders. Intimate room. Everyone demos.
Build Club Sydney runs two formats every month: Open and Core. This is Core.
20 builders. One afternoon. Everyone works, everyone demos. 3 minutes each. Hard timer. No exceptions.
Core sessions rotate through intimate spaces across Sydney - places you earn your way into. The location is off the beaten path on purpose. If you made the trip, you're serious. That's the filter.
Co-hosted with Arrayah, a creator residency that believes in taking care of the people building. This session is held in their space. Treat it with respect.
**What to expect:**
→ 12:30 – Doors open, settle in
→ 12:45 – Intros: your name, what you're working on, one sentence
→ 1:00 – Heads down. Build.
→ 4:00 – Demos. Everyone. 3 minutes. Hard timer.
→ 5:30 – Wrap + conversation
→ 6:00 – Venue clear
20 spots. Approval-based. We're looking for people actively building something with technical depth who want focused, uninterrupted work time alongside other builders doing the same.
Bring your laptop. Bring your project. Come ready to ship and show.
**Why Drummoyne?** Because the best rooms aren't always in the CBD. The trip is part of the commitment. You'll be building alongside 19 other people who cared enough to show up somewhere inconvenient - and that changes the energy in the room.
FAQ
**Who should come?** Builders deep in technical work. AI, robotics, deep tech, game dev, AR/VR, hardware, research - if you're building something that requires real technical depth, you belong here.
**Do I have to demo?** Yes. 20 people, 3 minutes each. Everyone shares. That's the deal. No spectators.
**What's the difference between Core and Open?** Build Club runs both every month. Open is the wide room - 40 people, anyone building anything, demos optional. Core is the intimate room - 20 people, curated, technical builders, everyone demos. If you've been to Open and want something more focused, Core is the next step.
**Is there food?** Drinks provided. Drummoyne has limited food options nearby, so eat before you come or bring something with you.
**How do I get the address?** Address is revealed when you're approved. Apply below.
**What's Arrayah?** Arrayah is a creator residency - an intense few weeks where you show up to the same place, with the same people, to take one thing you care about seriously. They're generously hosting this session.

**The Experience**
TechHaus isn’t a tech conference.
It’s a Builder Room where engineers, AI talent, product thinkers and hands-on technical operators come together to go deeper than the hype.
You won’t just hear about innovation. You’ll interrogate it.
**Expect:**
- Real technical conversations, not surface-level panels
- Practical insights from builders shipping real systems
- Curated introductions across the tech ecosystem
- Energy, curiosity and depth without the corporate gloss
Because great technology isn’t built in isolation. It’s built in rooms like this.
---
**Tickets**
Paid. Limited. Intentionally curated.
TechHaus is designed for engineers, AI practitioners, product professionals and technical operators who care about:
- Building real products
- Solving meaningful technical problems
- Learning from people actually shipping
This isn’t a hype-driven tech expo. It’s a high-signal room for builders serious about craft.
Seats are capped to protect the depth of conversation.

**PS:** It’s going to be one powerful builder night. We’re creating a space where engineers, AI talent, product professionals and technical operators learn the way humans always have: Face to face. Sharing ideas. Debating architecture. Laughing. Grabbing food and drinks.
Because great technology isn’t built in isolation. Before webinars. Before Zoom. Before AI.In an AI era, we’re bringing human learning back. Because the best growth still happens when humans meet humans. 🔥

## 你能带走什么？
**第一手市场信号：**近距离和早期重度用户交流，观察真实应用场景、使用卡点。
**未被验证的产品空白：**从吐槽墙和圆桌讨论中，识别 OpenClaw 生态里还没人做的那些需求。
**精准的早期用户网络：**这批人是下一波 AI 工具浪潮的先行者，也有可能发现你的种子用户和合作伙伴。
**进入全国网络的入口** ：北京站只是起点，养虾社全国线下weekly meetup同步启动，城市养虾人正在招募中。

2. 有 Demo 想现场演示的，我们非常欢迎，请带上你的电脑！
3. 这次不会从安装开始教，我们更想聊的是：你用它做了什么，效果怎么样。
