But many people who use the Startup Hub said they were confused by what was on offer at the new precinct, amid concerns there would be fewer desks for start-ups.
Anish Sinha arrived at the Startup Hub with an idea for his insurance company, Upcover. For Sinha, the appeal of the hub was the “graduation” system, where founders come in with an idea and graduate through the floors to use different resources as their company grows.
He met his co-founder at the hub, growing the business from an idea to a company with employees.
“We got our start pitching at the Startup Hub. Once you shift it, it gets dispersed and takes three to five years to get it up to where it is today, it’s a destruction of the momentum,” he said.
