We are not fund managers or investment advisers - if you want that sort of financial advice we strongly recommend that you consult the appropriate specialists.  This guide instead points to government initiatives, a number of the Australian venture capital funds and some angels. It also highlights some of the literature on venture financing and more generally the 'new economy'

The guide has five parts:

This part - the Introduction - provides an overview and points to what's new or notable

Part 1 - Writings - highlights academic studies, accounts by financiers and reference material from the private sector

Part 2 - Venture Funds - highlights Australian venture funds and industry bodies

Part 3 - Angels - points to business angels and mentors, matchmakers between the people with the money and the people with the ideas

Part 4 - Incubators - looks at digital business incubators and government incentive schemes

   what's new

The Federal Department of Industry, Science & Resources (ISR) has released an 80 page report benchmarking Australian institutional investment in domestic venture capital. Local superannuation funds were responsible for 38% of domestic venture capital funding (compared to 30% and 24% invested in the US and the EU by funds in those regions).
