Welcome to the Sydney StartupDigest!
Greetings from Austin, Texas. If you've never been to SXSW, you haven't experienced startup culture at its finest and craziest. Not many places where you can chat with Dave McClure on the street, grab free food from a Squarespace truck, get free T-shirts thrown at you all day long and then go to a Foursquare party at night, all in one day. You just have to see it for yourself. Have a great couple of weeks at some of these fine events.  Sydney StartupDigest is curated by:

brainmates Product Talk #9 "Prototype this..."
When: Wednesday, March 28, 8:30am
Where: brainmates HQ, 906 / 84 Pitt Stree
How do you know that the product experience that you are about to launch into the market place is going to deliver the expected result? Just because you have done all your research into the behaviour of your market doesn’t mean that your product will solve the the problem it was designed for. Prototyping allows Product Managers to test their product ideas before a completed product is available, or before it is made available to a wide market.
