I would like to pass on my congratulations to the top 5!
As a fellow competitor (HeroPing), I was really blown away to hear
about some of the other stuff that was being presented on the day. Had
a nice little catch-up with Dave (Trindaz) in QLD, bumped into each
other at Dreamworld no less(!); sou
Congrats to the 5, but it was amazing to see such a depth of good
ideas and people to run with them. The community is certainly building
up some strength. Great to see.
Cheers,
Mick

Hmmn.
I guess that's it for Startmate and its companies on this thread. In a
strange alternate universe I had imagined that perhaps Dave and
Andrew's nice summaries might be followed up with by couple more
similar summaries of the other companies and maybe a few remarks from
those involved in the
Hi Jeromy,
Nice to have you in the discussion.

Just a couple of corrections:
SAMBA is NOT linux filesharing, it's a re-implementation of the Microsoft
File Sharing Networking stack. SAMBA was named from the SMB protocol. It
runs on a great number of Unix like platforms (including Linux, the various
BSD's, Solaris and so on).
Secondly it was a

This is not an accurate statement.
I suspect that the difference is

I think with respect to the Australian tech marketplace, having oliopolies

So the question comes as a social one.
Thanks Dave and Andrew for your summaries. I wasn't asking for a
detailed run-down on an early stage company, just a quick 1 paragraph
'what' and 'who' information. Some of this can clearly be gotten at
from public sources (LinkedIn, Google, the companies web sites when
they exist) but it's nice to
Startmate and its peers are (economically speaking) tournaments. Read
Freakanomics for some amusing comparison with crack dealers. Many
industries have an 800 pound gorilla that looks great, generate
copious press (Apple, Facebook etc), generate shitload of cash, and

Hi Geoff,
Andrew here (co-founder of Noosbox, one of the Startmate applicants)
Couple of points:

are very early-stage, and while we're building and running trials with
reference customers, many of us are saving the bi
Hi Geoff and everyone else in SB,
Andy Morris and myself are the cofounders of Chorus. I'm on holiday
until Jan 5th (so you were right about guessing why replies to this
thread were sparse!), but here is an excerpt from some other materials
we're preparing. Forgive us if it's not quite thorough en
This seems to be some sort of 'semi-stealth' mode, or perhaps everyone
is just on holiday and not posting? There isn't anything on
Startmate's site or their twitter updates.
A quick summary of who/what these companies are (for the ones that are
disclosed, at least) would be interesting and instruc
Looks like some interesting startups in there. Good luck to all.
