Federal opposition outlines equity crowdfunding policy; Simon Hackett’s Adelaide startup mansion; Cisco invests in Blackbird Ventures

StartupSmart
Dear StartupSmart reader,
A “light steady, balanced regulatory touch” should be used in the development of equity-based crowdfunding legislation, according to a federal opposition policy paper.

Investor and entrepreneur Simon Hackett is transforming a historic Adelaide mansion into a startup hub.

Cisco has become the first major corporate investor in Blackbird Ventures, with the move paving the way for more investments in promising Australian startups.

We take a break from startup theory in our latest #2015istheyear pieceto get some inspiration from Tablo.io founder Ash Davies.

OneShift and the art of hiring a barista in less than half an hour.

Sydney-based 25Fifteen’s new startup, Unsaid, brings the freedom of anonymous expression used in apps like Whisper and Secret to your workplace.

Currency, bitcoin and payments systems: How the concept of money is being redefined.

The reaction to the federal government’s plans to clamp down on cyberbullying has ranged from hostility from some libertarians to scepticism about yet another government attempt to make the internet safer.

Best of the Web: What’s next for entrepreneurship? Europe versus Google; Investec’s PR blunder.

Add Microsoft to the ever-growing list of companies accepting bitcoin payments.
