I'll double check, but I'm pretty sure http://99designs.com would be interested.

Hi William, I have contacted you by email.

I would love to discuss with you about http://goalstribe.com, a startup that helps people achieve their goals (and democratize coaching).

We are based in Sydney.

Thanks!

Are you including New Zealand startups? There's lots going on over here, Wellington especially.

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?

Hi great idea. I've currently moved to Perth and I'm looking for any regular meetups / shared office space. I'm bootstrapping 2 products right now. I think I'd benefit massively from some type of shared work space. Anyone know of anything?

I'll come to a Perth meetup! Recently moved to Perth as well and tinkering around with my own apps.

I'm actually from New Zealand going there this Wednesday so I would have no problem featuring New Zealand startups

Of course @kaggle (Melbourne-launched, though I hear they're at least part moving to SF) would be a highlight for your start, given they just raised $11m from some very high profile investors in the Valley.

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.
