Startup X – Slack chat for Australian startups

6 pointsxky4 comments

We (usecanary.com) setup a Slack chat for the Aussie startup community and we've had about 60 people sign up in the last few days. We set it up to help local startups work together.

If you're interested fill out this form and I'll send you an invite. http://bit.ly/1K0tOQO

How do we know who you are? I am of course interested, but I don’t sign up for unknown services offered by unknown people. Any reason you have not hosted this form on usecanary?

Hey, thanks for sharing that. We used to have a team section on our site but I forgot that we don't anymore!

This is me btw :) [redacted]

To answer your other question, we really wanted to create a useful community and were concerned it would look like a lead generation tool.

We're in the process of creating a dedicated landing page but for now the form is what we've got!

Thanks Alex.

By the way are the prices on your website in A$ or US$? If they are in A$ given the way our dollar has gone down it might be worth pointing this out.

Great feedback. Our prices are in AUD so we'll add that for sure.
