I know startup founders who graduated through startmate and can vouch for it. Our start-up was passed on by black bird ventures but I still keep in touch with them and attended their pitch training session There is really good raw talent in Melbourne but I agree with the comment below that startup scene sucks due to lack of Angel investors

The problem is we don’t have many "second generation” angel investors here in Australia that understand startups from first hand experience (this is where SV has a massive advantage over us and most of the rest of the world). On the positive there are more and more of us second gen investors out there. I am part of the Sydney Angels group and over the last 18 months the number of entrepreneur that have joined has been really encouraging. We have a long way to go, but at least we are heading in the right direction.
