To be clear, we wanted to setup the program with a complete handle on reality and to be supportive of many different options on financing - bootstrap or institutional - and where they are based - Sydney or the Valley or in the many cases currently a grey area of being in both.

The two weeks in the Valley at the end of the program is to connect with the Aussie community that is just starting to establish itself, to introduce the startups we are working with to the most useful people we can and then to hold a demo day for early stage investors as well. Plus it's hard not to get drunk on the inspiration of meeting other great startups.
