Our Story

River City Labs was first founded in 2012 by one of Australia's most successful tech entrepreneurs and Australian TV Series, Shark Tank investor, Steve Baxter. Since 2012, over 700 startup founders have called RCL home. We have hosted over 1,000 events, aimed at supporting founders on their entrepreneurship journey, and have welcomed more than 29,000 guests into our community.

In 2018, RCL was acquired by Australian Computer Society, The Professional Association of Information and Computer Technology, bringing a fresh set of ideas and vision to support the growth of Brisbane startups.

 River City Labs is focused on being the catalyst for the Brisbane startup ecosystem,
and driving startups to the international stage.
