Britain’s Oxygen Accelerator Hopes To Breathe Life Into Startups

Startmate launched not that long ago - I'm out of the Aus scene these days, so not sure how it's going. I reckon you need the mentors more than the millions - and indeed, if you could get the mentors then the money would likely follow from somewhere.

I'm off to Birmingham for a weekend at the end of this month. I shall now delight in knowing that it's the size of ... Brisbane.

I hate a me-too comment just as much as everyone else, but people need to read this before getting tricked (perhaps not on purpose, but by not noticing it's a loan they're getting into). I know these guys want to help as many companies as they can (actually, i hope that's the reason), but 6% for a loan sounds like a bad deal unless the mentorship/advice/connections they're getting it are extremely valuable.
