This is a very special Melbourne Silicon Beach Meetup for Startup Spring 2015 (http://startupaus.org/startupSpring/), an Australia wide startup festival organised by StartupAus (https://startupaus.org/). Startup Spring runs throughout Australia from 10th to 30th Sept.

This will be a MSB meetup with nothing like you have seen before. Expect a few surprises and some exciting announcements.

Did you know that you can get a SiliconTable at this meetup and showcase your startup, small business, graphic/web/app design business.. in fact any product or service that helps our startups to grow?

Pledge $100 here to get a SiliconTable (https://www.ipledg.com/campaigns/melbourne-silicon-beach-startup-spring-2015-meetup/). Tables are limited.

Why are we crowdfunding?

With the change in leadership in Canberra, we are very hopeful about the future of tech startups in Australia. It's looking good for us as Australia's largest tech startup community spread across 5 states.

We are launching the beta version of our new website and Silicon Beach Radio on the night. Funds raised will go to these two projects. What can you expect from SB Radio? Listen to these short, sharp interviews with Silicon Beachers.

90second pitches just got serious

Silicon Beach TV is already on Periscope and YouTube. Your pledges will ensure these services continue and grow.

We emailed the link to the live stream of 90 second pitches from the last meetup to Melbourne Angels. One angel was so impressed with one particular pitch. They are now in negotiations.

Who said Aussie investors are not interested in startups? If your idea is solving a real problem, and really innovative - there is no shortage of funds. In future we will send the link to 90 sec pitches to international angel groups as well as Australian investors.

Watch what the angels saw : 90 second pitches from last meetup (http://katch.me/AthulaBogoda/v/f11ae6c6-1f53-3301-80ad-c5f00f69b314).

Help SB Radio & SB TV grow - because they will take your startup to the world.
