Attention all startups and techies, YBF Ventures may just be what you’re looking for. We're Melbourne's top startup hub for tech and innovation set in an 1860s heritage-listed former wool exchange. We used to be based in the old York Butter Factory – that's where the 'YBF' in our name comes from.

We're one of the communities that kicked off the whole coworking phenom in Australia way back in 2011 and we've always been committed to growing and nurturing Melbourne’s tech ecosystem. We’re already home to startups working in fintech, Web 3.0, augmented reality, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, and we serve as headquarters to some pretty impressive global-reaching companies like Silicon Valley’s Wrike and the Australian arm of Startupbootcamp. We even have folks working in the space who are in research mode, planning their next big project.

On top of that, we have world-class corporate partners and house two important government-backed hubs: the YBF Fintech Hub and YBF Mesh (the world’s first Web 3.0 hub).

We have the city’s fastest WiFi (1000/1000 Mbps Symmetrical U/D), private phone booths, bike storage, fully-stocked showers (including shampoo, conditioner, body wash and fresh towels), unlimited coffee and tea, renowned (almost daily) events, plus we have lots of chill-out areas for more relaxed working and impromptu meetings. For more formal meetings we have ten dedicated meeting rooms of varying sizes across our three floors available to members – all with connected TVs and white boards.

And our community? It's awesome.

Go ahead and book a tour. We would love to show you around and see if it’s the space for you!
