Inspire9

On 23 May, Inspire9 Richmond hosted the Southern Hemisphere's first Claude Impact Lab.

50+ developers, founders, and builders spent the day working on real AI problems in the same heritage building where Melbourne's startup community has been coming to work since 2008.

Team Good Sh*t took out the overall win. Their project, along with the top 3 teams, is now heading to Anthropic for real consideration.

A massive thank you to Rye Smith for bringing this to Melbourne, to Martine Nilsen from Anthropic for opening the day, and to every mentor, judge, and participant who made it what it was.

We're now the official home of Claude Community Australia events in Melbourne. More to come.

Great conversations, strong community, and a room full of curious minds.

Last month, we hosted the Claude Code Community Event at Inspire9 Richmond, bringing together developers, AI practitioners, and tech professionals from across Melbourne.

Hearing directly from Boris Cherny, creator of Claude Code, and seeing community members share how they’re using AI in real-world projects made for an engaging and inspiring evening.

We’re proud to support events that prioritise learning, connection, and genuine in-person interaction.

A big thank you to Spruik and the Claude community for organising such a great night, and to everyone who joined us.
