Thanks for all the suggestions! Have already contacted a bunch of people and am organising coffees as we speak.
Great to see us teasing out a list of Aussies in NY. @Matthew Ho - Don't have a lot of experience in the Valley but the thing about NY is that there's a massive amount of resources and motivation here that, when focused on a particular industry, can achieve amazing things. Remember, it's the capital of the world we're talking about here! The combination of the GFC pulling talented business/design ppl away from Finance/Advertising, the rise of Brooklyn as a tech startup hub (was there on the weekend and was shocked at the number of startup related conversation I overheard), the high profile of NY-based Fred Wilson as one of the most well-liked/respected investors in the tech startup world, NY-based startups founded by successful serial entrepreneurs who no longer feel compelled to move over to the valley, the general frothiness in the startup industry etc. have all created this perfect storm of events which has suddenly reinvigorated Silicon Alley. There are a bunch of other things - definitely worth checking out Justin's post on Delimiter - http://delimiter.com.au/2011/01/28/an-australian-developer-in-new-york/ - sums up the culture here well. @Mick - will drop you an email, but might wait for the after-paddle coffee to chat with these guys. Do you know how cold it is in the Hudson ATM??? @Kate @alex - thanks for the suggestions have started reaching out @Alan - yeah, shame about Nick. Was first on my list but a recent blog post said he'd moved to Darwin!
