Publisher's Synopsis
When thinking of Australia, minds usually go straight to the beaches of Sydney, or the trams and coffee of Melbourne. There is a fierce rivalry between these two cities, not just in sports, but in the battle of the startup ecosystems. Melbourne has more than 180 life science organizations equating to approximately US $12 billion in economic activity.
This book is the first comprehensive guide to Melbourne and Victoria's 70+ co-working spaces, and to navigating this ecosystem. It is written to support entrepreneurs to be the change they want to see. It provides insights and tips on where to go, what to do, and who to talk to, and supports the smooth transition from idea to freelancing to start-up and strategic growth. It's an entrepreneur's Lonely Planet, MBA, Friend, Coach, and Mentor in 100 pages. This book is arguably the most accessible condensation of top-tier insights on entrepreneurship in Melbourne and leverages 20 years of business experience and recent interviews.
