BTW, we have an awesome shared office space at Mermaid Beach on the Gold Coast. Balcony, 100m from surf, cool tunes. Space for a couple extra people if anyone is interested.
Stuart from Crowd9 here, we have a few products (plus quite a few unfinished ones): StoreCrowd, Couponzor & Thinng. Melb based, all bootstrapped, all profitable. Check me a line on @thegyppo if you want to chat.
There are some excellent example pages here. We had a lot of fun reading out selections from http://fleshlight.couponzor.com/ Have these companies signed up, or did it just seem like a particularly good idea to use Fleshlight as an example?
Chorus http://www.getchorus.com - in this batch at 500 Startups
Grabble http://grabbleapp.com - just sold to Walmart
IRL Gaming http://www.irlgaming.com/ - not sure what they're up to...
and us BugHerd http://bugherd.com - were in the last batch of 500 startups.
I'd also recommend getting on to Startmate directly, http://startmate.com.au and speak to Niki. There is a new batch coming up in January (applications close in a couple of weeks).
Hi William. Great to hear the booming Australian start-up scene getting some deserved dedicated coverage. I work for Flippa.com - worlds largest website marketplace (over $61M websites sold so far) and BRW Fast Starter + SmartCompany Innovation Award Winner. We're based in Melbourne so happy to shout lunch if you're ever in the area!
You can email me and I'll stay in touch. Cheers
I've written a couple of lists that might be a good starting point though the first is a bit out of date being from 2009: http://www.mynameisned.com/awesome-melbourne-tech-startups http://www.mynameisned.com/australian-innovative-startups-ke...
We do a bit of inhouse product development though I wouldn't call them startups just yet: http://talkbackapp.com, http://fanbomb.com + http://themepivot.com
The Australian startup scene seems to have more 'startup hubs', startup accelerators, startup workshops, startup advisors, startup publications, would-be startup gurus, etc. as it has actual startups . At times the mental image I have is of a tiny handful of miners surrounding by an enormous throng of hundreds of merchants eagerly promoting their particular brands of picks and shovels.

hahaha this is brilliant! At the moment that is probably the way it is - "We need to build the forest before putting the animals in." is how I would describe it.
We still qualify I think, we're one of the ones that made it! We've been featured on 37signals' Bootstrapped, Profitable & Proud series: http://37signals.com/svn/posts/2594-bootstrapped-profitable-...
