Mini Me (oh wait that’s Matt Barrie — CEO of Freelancer) … was geared up to party like a rockstar …. then LOOKOUT LAWS came. So, he created StartCon to show the International startup community that the Australian party scene is dead!

Holy Kow, Matt’s post is about to hit 1M views: Would the last person in Sydney please turn the lights out?

This is an on-going list that I’m writing to help promote #startupaus. I hope you have enjoyed list one, two, three, four, five and six.

It is important to mention that there is no ranking system associated with any of these lists. Sometimes people might email me or I may discover these startups by chance. Whichever way — it has been compiled on the go.

For all of those that are in the Australian startup community, check out Paul Tower’s StartupSoda (Mattermark Daily for Australian tech news). It shows a quick daily snapshot of what’s going on here in Australian tech. Pretty cool!

Lastly, it would mean the world to me if you could sign up to my weekly startup essays on ghacklabs. I am writing about some new theories that I have on startups — no spam, just great content once a week.
