Welcome!

Business strategy, Incubation, Co-mentoring

Upstarta.biz is the home of a group of people who run, or are interested in running, their business according to a set of Principles that make them more people friendly (both to clients and self), resilient to recessions, (potentially) better for the environment, and more.

While being particularly suited to on-line, ICT and Open Source related endeavours, we are by no means limited to that. In addition, the guidelines also apply well to non-profits and other organisations.

There are plenty of startup groups, the difference is Upstarta doesn't go for "get rich quick" nonsense. Less sexy, for sure... but the results are better.

Membership Benefits

You may of course use our Principles, but do you want to do it all on your own? Our monthly membership fee is currently set at a nomimal AUD 5, sufficient to cover cost and creating a sense of commitment that a gratis service would not have.

When you think about it, that's cheaper per year than many static books! Our wiki is dynamic and ever growing.

Our members actively participate by contributing on our wiki and mailing list, mentoring fellow members, and attending live meetings. Exchanging ideas and asking questions, even with people some might consider to be direct competitors, is more valuable than risky.
