The idea is to present the stories of people who are starting and funding new businesses. On http://twistsydney.com you will find.. Episode 1: With Niki Scevak from Startmate <http://www.startmate.com.au> Niki is the administrator and one of the driving forces behind Startmate, Sydney's new Y-Combinator/Techstars style startup incubator. Niki clearly articulates both the story of his own startup homethinking.com, but also what Startmate is looking for in applications. There were some technical issues with this episode, but we've published it as should probably be essential viewing for anyone who either wants to apply for Startmate, or wants to know what its about. Episode 2: With Sheng Yeo from OrionVM Sheng is one of the founders OrionVM, a cloud computing startup based in Sydney. He is typical of the new generation of entrepreneurs, very smart, articulate, and has an excellent handle on his chosen space. His is an interesting story of how four friends organised themselves around a vision, allocated equity, and executed in space dominated by large players. He is also looking for an advisor/angel who understands this market space. And later this week.. Episode 3: With Matt Cameron from Corporate Catapult <http://www.corporatecatapult.com/> Matt is a Kiwi who is chasing his dream. He left his rather impressive corporate role with Salesforce.com and relocated himself to San Francisco to launch his startup Corporate Catapult <http://www.corporatecatapult.com/> . He talks of his motivation, the status of his startups (in stealth-mode), how he plans to launch, and how to get connected in Silicon Valley. We are doing this is on a volunteer basis and are keen for any feedback or from people who want to be involved - just reply to this address if your interested. rgds, - matt. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Silicon Beach Australia mailing list.
