Hey William - nice idea. I'm Jenna, Stanford Institute for Entrepreneurship 2011 grad, PhD Clinical Psychology dropout and Aussie Founder of early stage E-Mental Health startup http://recoveryrecord.com. Would love to chat about the Australian startup scene, and my experiences in it.

AJ has already plugged noosbox, but the other Startmate companies are 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…

(I'm DaveT from Chorus)

Technically we're not based in Australia any more.

Awesome news. So much going on in the Australian tech scene at the moment, the coverage it can get the better. We're launching our beta Friday (ggBet.net), if you need content :)

I'd be interested in hearing about the legal hoops you guys have to jump through to launch a betting agency in Australia.. I'd imagine it wouldn't be easy? edit: oh and by the way, I only knew what your site was from the title bar, though I'm sure you'll have more up there on Friday. Good Luck!

We use virtual currency, its fantasy, so we havent had to deal with many legalities. All will be revealed Friday. http://ggbet.net

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.

Hello! We're a tiny Indian startup: Kabutar! - its kinda like reddit for the real world. Try us out, pretty please? :) www.kabutar.in | http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/kabutar!/id477970251?mt=8

Hey,

There isn't any nice way to get in contact with you via the website, and you didn't leave an email address here. What's the best way to get in contact with you?

Hi William, I'm the founder of Jasondb, a cloud NoSQL database based in Melbourne, although we have just registered in Delaware as Jasondb LLC. We have spent the past 2 years in dev mode and are planning to launch early next year. Went to SF as part of AnzaTech last year and to TechCrunch in SF this year, and I have to say the focus seems to be on startups that can whip something up in a week and launch in a month. After spending over 2 years in dev mode on a database written in C/C++, I have gotta say it seems that we are the exception rather than the rule in the startup space. Love to hear from anyone who has experienced similar. Our back story is at blog.jasondb.com

Excited for a this exact thing. Is there any other resource which lists Australian Tech Startups in a readable and up-to-date manner?

If you're interested in narrowing the location to just sydney - there's a growing FB group called "Sydney Startups" (https://www.facebook.com/groups/sydneystartups/) and a related monthly newsletter which features Sydney Startups -> sydneystartups.com
