Welcome to the Sydney StartupDigest!
Lots of great events over the coming weeks. The event season is finally heating up. :)
Just a couple of interesting tidbits. If you are looking for a super simple pitch deck to get you started, have a look at this one from Mick and the Pollenizer guys. Nothing beats simplicity.
I also think it's high time for a shameless plug. I'll be heading over to SXSW with @abigsplash to peel the lid off our latest project, Play Entourage. Feel free to sign up and tweet about us. :)  Sydney StartupDigest is curated by:
