The Australian Web 2.0 startup scene

June 5th, 2008 • Uncategorized

This week in a rather lengthy piece in The Australian Financial Review I examine the Australian Web 2.0 startup scene. In the article (which can be found online here) I asked for input from about ten of Australia’s most well-known internet startups and come to some broad conclusions.

Yes, there isn’t much funding around, but people are getting on with the job and pulling in revenues anyway.

This article generated a lot of discussion within the local startup scene, including on the 2Web podcast, on the TechNation Australia web site, and on Feedcorp co-founder Ben Barren’s blog. I’m sure it is being discussed on other sites I don’t know about, and in addition there has been a health discussion on Plurk Twitter.

Thanks for your help everyone, and I look forward to working with you in the future.

Keep pushing

"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplacable spark. In the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish and leave only frustration for the life you deserved, but never have been able to reach. The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours."
