Looking for Australian startups to feature on my new blog

Great! Looking forward to reading this.

It would be great if you didn't include any clone me-too companies.

What kind of startups are you looking for? My father runs Tyro Payments (http://tyro.com) and I could try to get in touch with Mike Cannon-Brookes (Atlassian), although I don't know if he would be willing. Are those startups too old/big?

Awesome news. So much going on in the Australian tech scene at the moment, the coverage it can get the better. We're launching our beta Friday (ggBet.net), if you need content :)

Excited for a this exact thing. Is there any other resource which lists Australian Tech Startups in a readable and up-to-date manner?

Just so you know your contact form is broken, "Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the administrator by another method."

Since I couldn't post it there I shall here.

Sydney based here. Currently running http://searchco.de/

Looking forward to reading the blog. It'll do a lot of good to give the Aussie startup scene some exposure. We've just formed a team, with one founder based in Melbourne, Australia and me in Boston, US...

Good luck!

Check out FilterSquad (makers of the Discovr apps), they are based in Perth. http://discovr.info/

A friend of mine is a cofounder of Rome2Rio.

They are in Melbourne, nominally. At the moment I think they are in LA, or Florida or somewhere.

I would love to see more sites like this. Please don't let it end up in a graveyard of empty wordpress sites like I have on my server!

Hi William, I'm Co-Founder of Barkles (http://thenextweb.com/apps/2011/11/13/barkles-is-twitter-for...) based in Australia.Would love to answer a few questions for a different angle of what we do.

I would recommend getting in touch with these places (all on Twitter) @inspire9, @yorkbutter, @angelcubemelb and @startupaus. There are so many amazing Australian Startups coming out of the woodwork through these hubs and teams and they will surely give you enough companies to profile.

A great time to feature Aussie startups - The melb scene especially is on the rise.

You can reach me @diesellaws on Twitter if needed.

Hi,

We launched http://www.cheapstart.com.au last month to help small business select cloud software. We're Melbourne based. Being the dreaded 'business-guys' (70%) from a tech background, we crowdsourced everything very successfully, which is busy spawning the next startup! Happy to chat about how to tackle the technical side.

Hi William,

I'm the founder of TestPilot CI — Heroku for Testing.

We're based in Melbourne and gearing up for a launch in a couple of weeks. I'd be more than willing to take part in your blog and answer any questions about what we do, problems we've solved and the hard life of being a startup. Feel free to contact me (ivan at testpilot dot me) or @IvanVanderbyl

I work for Pollenizer (@pollenizer on twitter) - I'm engineering lead on Pygg. I do a lot of stuff out of work hours too, would be more than happy to chat.

I'm @arcwhite on Twitter

Hi,

I'm the Founder of Lexim (http://www.lexim.com.au), eLearning software designed for teachers not CIOs. We're based in Melbourne, and would love to help.

Feel free to reach out to me at michael.shimmins@lexim.com.au or @michaelshimmins on twitter.

Cheers,

Michael

Hi great idea.

I've currently moved to Perth and I'm looking for any regular meetups / shared office space. I'm bootstrapping 2 products right now.

I think I'd benefit massively from some type of shared work space. Anyone know of anything?

Stuart from Crowd9 here, we have a few products (plus quite a few unfinished ones):

StoreCrowd, Couponzor & Thinng. Melb based, all bootstrapped, all profitable.

Check me a line on @thegyppo if you want to chat.

I'm keen! I'm the founder of Goodfilms: http://goodfil.ms

We're based in Melbourne and building a site to help you figure out what films you're going to enjoy. We're about to step out from behind a private beta into a public one, and it's great to see such support for Australian startups.

You should check out our blog post about what we do and why we're different (http://blog.goodfil.ms/blog/2011/10/07/a-better-way-to-rate-...), and if you think we'd be good to feature on your blog, get in touch.

All the best, -Glen Maddern @glenmaddern

We're always up for a chat. Sydney based, been in the marketplace since Q1 2011.

Hey I'm Andrew, co-founder of Noosbox (http://noosbox.com). We were one of the first batch of Startmate companies. Happy to share some insight and war stories. Reach me at ajessup _AT_ noosbox.com. We're based in Sydney @ Fishburners.

Excellent idea for a startup hub. I'm the founder of Axle Technologies : http://www.axletech.com.au - GPS Vehicle tracking and fleet management for the masses (Web based, that's where the fun is right).

Based out of Brisbane we've spent the last 12 months in software development, hardware development, penning legal paperwork and sourcing customer feedback for features. Bootstrapped through self funding, personal savings and some rusty dreams. We've just finished all our new advertising material designs and are going straight into launch next week.

If you want a chat you can get in touch with me through our contact form on the site.

I've enjoyed working with https://stillalive.com/

I'll double check, but I'm pretty sure http://99designs.com would be interested.

Hi William, I have contacted you by email.

I would love to discuss with you about http://goalstribe.com, a startup that helps people achieve their goals (and democratize coaching).

We are based in Sydney.

Thanks!

Are you including New Zealand startups? There's lots going on over here, Wellington especially.
