Hi SBers,
If you are:
a) based in Sydney in striking distance of Ultimo, and
b) appalled at how little exercise you get these days because you're
working so damn hard on your startup,
then you may be interested in an initiative that those of us based at

Adrian,
Just on the topic of whether it's the company lending to employees
directly vs. a trust, I believe the original motivation for using the
trust was to take advantage of an FBT exemption on trusts set up to
acquire shares for employees. However the ATO has signalled that the

We recently went through the process of registering ourselves with the
immigration department as an approved business sponsor, and it wasn't
all that difficult. We needed to be able to demonstrate the amount we

Just wanted to reopen this discussion to ask if anyone has direct

Payflow Pro. If you've got any experi

Mmm, free beer...

Anyone out there had any first-hand experience using with JCurve as a
financial/CRM/e-commerce solution? Even second- or third-hand
experience would be fine -- would just be interested to know of anyone
who has used them, and what the experience has been like.
One of the companies I work with is c

trying to be as paranoid as possible, and justifiably so -- will hear
these words and think, "small opportunity". Their rationale is that if

Les,
If you're based in Sydney I'd recommend having a chat to Matt Ward at
Shelston IP. I used Shelstons for many years when I ran tech teams at
Honeywell, so wasn't expecting them to have a great understanding of
startup needs but I've been pleasantly surprised. They will work

I spent years knocking MBAs as a waste of time until I did one & had

phases. These days the best MB

Hi all,
I’ve been sifting through the SB archives for advice on the best way
to locate early-stage talent for start-ups in Sydney. The group
guidelines are pretty clear that this is outside the scope of the SB

First post from an SB newbie (only posted my SB introduction this
