SOUP is a great way to raise money, build community support and get connections to local resources that can help you carry out your project.
Perth SOUP winners receive:
- A cash micro-grant on the night of the event, usually between $800 and $1500 (depending on attendance numbers and donations received!)
- A free community membership to Spacecubed for one year, worth $300
- A mentoring session from ANSON Management Consulting to learn how to further enhance your idea
- Access to professional mentors within the Spacecubed network
- All winners receive $100 of UBER credit!
- Potential media exposure! Past winner Jen Worrall was featured in an ABC online article about Perth SOUP and talked about her project Smokin' Honey. Other projects from the first event were also mentioned. Jen was then invited onto ABC 720 radio with Co-Founder Keeya to discuss the first Perth SOUP event.

HOW TO PITCH
While it might seem a bit daunting if you aren't an experienced public speaker, please don't worry! SOUP is meant to be casual and conversational. As long as you deeply understand your own project, people will understand you! We have found that some of our shyest presenters who were perhaps the least experienced speakers have taken home the grants.
Things you MUST do:
1. Keep your pitch under 4 minutes.
2. Be prepared to answer 4 questions from the audience.
3. Be very clear about exactly where the money would go if handed to you - we have noticed that it doesn't matter how great your idea is if you are too vague! You need to explain what items you will buy or what else you will pay for to enhance your project, using clear examples. If you don't do this, it is extremely unlikely that you will win the crowd vote.
