Introduction
This mapping exercise is the first in Techboard’s Perth 2.0: After the Boom series, through which we hope to offer a variety of perspectives into Perth’s nascent startup and technology company ecosystem.
The startup and technology sector has the potential to drive future economic growth in this state, and as such is deserving of our attention. In this first map we focus on the inter-connectedness of the ecosystem.
Please get in touch with any comments or feedback on this map, or if you are interested in collaborating on future reports.
Techboard has been running the Techboard Ranking, a fortnightly listing of Western Australia’s trending startups and technology companies since September. The event, sponsored by PwC is a celebration of WA’s trending startups and tech companies.
As part of the event we will be running a panel session on raising the profile of WA’s 
startups and tech companies facilitated by Charlie Gunningham from Business News. The panellists are all founders of unlisted startups and listed tech companies: Russell Francis from Velpic, Miles Burke from 6Q, Brian Leedman from ResApp Health, Andrew Hagen from Cycliq, Marcus Holmes from //Startup News and Becky Lee from OneVR.
A number of awards will be presented on the night including the Startup Award
sponsored by Eve Investments. We are also pleased to announce that the Chief Scientist Professor Peter Klinken has agreed to present the Community award to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to Startups in Perth.
We will be putting this award to the vote in coming weeks.

Techboard is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Highgate-based web-design and digital marketing firm, Visible.
Visible will provide support in design and development of the platform in conjunction with the Techboard team. Matt Hanham from Visible said “We are confident that Techboard will enhance the visibility of the Perth startup community and success stories which often go untold. As a director of Spacecubed for the last 3 years, it was an easy decision to get behind this initiative as a further commitment in support of the local startup scene”.
With the the expert help from the guys at Visible Techboard looks forward to bringing further refinement and new features to the Techboard platform commencing with the introduction of video content in the form of founder interviews coming from a recent onboarding session.

The fact that most startups need to aim globally to have any prospect of making it big should not mean that they should not also focus on their local market, particularly in the early part of their life.
When people talk about supporting local startups they are generally talking about investment and education and community… what about as a customer or user.. Buy local is not just something we should do to support local small business and producers… what about the startups?? In Perth we have a vast array of startups and tech companies that provide products and services to meet your needs … but you are only going to buy from them if you know about them.
A tip to companies… to benefit from any sort of ‘buy local’ support you need to let potential consumers know where you are based. Be proud of where you are from. If your product or service is good people from elsewhere will still buy it.
Sure many startups need some investment but what is most important for all startups (and grownup startups for that matter) is customers, sales, traction and revenue… make it easier to get that investment.
Interested in 3d Printing?
Bitcoin your thing??
Want to make managing your expenses or doing your tax easier?
want to find a tradie??
There is a local startup for that..
The Techboard is being established to increase the visibility of local tech companies both startups and grownups for a bunch of reasons… including to help make it easier for Western Australians to support companies in and from their own backyard. Want to find out more about Techboard … check it out.
Hey there.
