One thing that would be really good to see come out of this IMHO is a better profile for tech startups in Aus. The more open this can be around tech scene, gotchas and contacts focussed on Australia the better. Most information and discussion I've seen tends to be US based not surprisingly; This doesn't always translate well, particularly around company structure, equity, tax etc. You know, all the small stuff that can kill you.
I agree with the opening sentence. There really are some amazing tech companies doing great things in Australia that don't get enough recognition.
In the last fortnight I've met a couple of these serial tech entrepreneurs including Julian Holman of OurDeal.com.au who have opened up my eyes to an industry I thought I was (mostly) across.
We fully intend to be very open about the way we do business and bring a local angle on the type of great stuff folks like venturehacks have done in the US.
Also, for Aussie startups if there are issues around company formation and things like migrating an Australian company to a Delaware C-Corp etc we can share, we will.
That sounds great. As a tech founder that's the thing I'm working through. There's a few good sources but very little that says, for tech with std tech structures you probably want to do it this way.
Looking forward to see what develops.
