I moved to Melb nearly a year ago, was pretty active in Perth startup community. - City/Richmond is the place to be - Internet is pretty good in CBD from my experience (coffee shops) but not good enough to do heavy lifting (read: Australian internet sucks, sibling post is correct 10 Mbps is fast in Australia) - Not sure about VCs in Melb but I have heard a lot lately that VCs in Australia have really aggressive and nasty contracts so I personally would want to have a 3rd party look over any funding I was singing up for. - There's some really good meetups here especially Silicon Beach Melbourne, Startup Grind, Startup Victoria and Inspire9 Pitch Nights. Perth seemed a lot more driven from the central co-working space and then grass roots (apart from some "innovation incubators" from some companies which come and go) than what Melbourne is, not sure about compared to Sydney but it feels a lot more commercial here (more businesses selling to startups.) Wish there was a few more less corporatey hackathons or grassroots feeling events here. - Andrew Hyde (founder Startup Weekend) spent some months here and his biggest point of how we can improve was Melb needs to do more to promote its Startup Success stories other than the obvious ones (Seek, Carsales.com.au, REA, Envato)
