It is awesome whats happening in Australia around tech startups and the support for the community. Im running Startup Weekend at the YBF Melb Nov 4-6th where Ive managed to secure 5K from Optus for first prize and JFDI want to do a S15k equity deal with a team and take them to a Singapore bootcamp.
Two teams (Native Tongue and IndexMedia) from the previous Melbourne Startup Weekend are now based in YBF. I've just pivoted (RentWant-TaskWant) in a new incubator called AngelCube based out of inspire9 in Melbourne. Im one of four teams there. It is pretty exciting times.
