Fishburners Community Charter

Fishburners is a non profit organisation that exists to grow tech startups and foster an environment where we all win, by being open to give first, collaborate and be there for each other.

If you’re reading this, it means you have the privilege of joining Fishburners and we want you to be part of shaping the community and supporting what we stand for.

Fishburners is all about community first. It’s what makes us different, it’s what we pride ourselves on and it’s what we want to continue to grow and celebrate.

For these reasons, we ask all our new Burners to read and sign our community charter below. This charter has been co-created by your fellow burners over the years.

Know, live and breathe our values

Brilliance: "We are the world's innovators"
Collaboration: "We're stronger together"
Community: "We give back whenever we can"

Giving back is what Fishburners has been built on and is what makes Fishburners a special place. We have a huge community of talented individuals building businesses that matter so if you get stuck, remember you are not alone in your startup journey or career.

To make the most of Fishburners and this community remember to offer to put your hand up to get involved as much as you can and treat the space and the community with respect.

How to cowork like a pro

Treat the space right - wash your dishes, clean up after yourself, show common courtesy
Pitch in - put the milk in the milk fridge when it arrives, volunteer to be a big fish for a pitch night, advise a fellow Burner on a problem they are having with their startup
Give back attitude - ask not just what Fishburners can do for you, but what you can do for Fishburners
Phone etiquette - keep your voice down when taking calls at your desk, jump into a boardroom or phone booth if it’s a long call
Meeting rooms - leave meeting rooms on time. Cancel room bookings when you don’t need them
No visitors after 6pm - have meetings but plan them during office hours
Say hello - if you see someone new, introduce yourself and welcome them
Immerse yourself - take advantage of all the events and sessions available to you
Give feedback - let the Fishburners team know if we’re missing the mark or could improve in any way
Keep safe - make sure only members are in the building after hours (except for organised events)
Ask a burner - chances are the person next to you knows the answer and you’ll meet someone new in the process
Get your team involved - the best teams are those whose founders encourage their team members to get involved
