Hi All, While I've been working on my startup over the past year, I've been researching government support and initiatives for new businesses. I didn't find a whole lot that was applicable and it appears that not many VC/angel deals are done for early stage companies. I'd heard of programs overseas such as Startup Chile and Singapores matching scheme that sounded great.
So I emailed the innovation minister Kim Carr to see if they were planning anything similar and what else is being done for startups. The responses are somewhat long and really just list the existing initiatives, however I've posted them (with permission) here: http://blog.mijura.com/post/11904346350 What does everyone else think? Between StartMate, AngelCube, PushStart, SydStart, this list and many other private ventures - will it make a difference if the government provides more support to startups?
