Mick, Alan and co... Have you considered bringing in Australian mentors who live in the Valley as well? I imagine that would be a great benefit that founders could draw from the programme, that they would get an immediate intro to people in the US. It would also give those expats a reason to keep up their connections with the Oz tech scene, which can't be a bad thing.
Here in London, I've mentored at SeedCamp before, and I could see that the mentors loved the whole experience -- exposure to enthusiastic founders but also being able to catch up with other mentors, people who you never meet as often as you should... if StartMate could do the same in Australia it would really help the scene I'm sure. Great idea btw, I'm really glad that you're doing it... stuff like this makes me a little bit more included to come back to Australia some time :-) Brendan. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Silicon Beach Australia mailing list.
