Melbourne woman 'harassed' by UberX driver; Changes to Significant Investor Visa could deter Chinese investors; Oneflare acquires WOMO

StartupSmart
Dear StartupSmart reader,
A 21-year-old Melbourne woman says she will think twice about using UberX after what she describes as a “concerning” experience with the ride-sharing service.

While the proposed reforms to the Significant Investor Visa Program have been largely welcomed by the Australian startup community as a means to access more venture capital, there are concerns the changes misunderstand Chinese investors.

Local services marketplace Oneflare has announced it has acquired Australia’s largest customer reviews website, Word Of Mouth Online (WOMO), for an undisclosed amount.

A little Prezi for you: Drew Banks tells how the presentation software startup grew to over 50 million users.

ASIC has placed a stop order prohibiting Melbourne startup Bitcoin Group from publishing any statements concerning its intention to make an initial public offering until it lodges a prospectus.

Four email problems that even titans of tech haven’t resolved. 

Stashd founder Jessica Wilson says part of being an entrepreneur means getting out of your comfort zone, but even for Wilson, plunging into the icy Antarctic Ocean meant going well beyond her limits.

The growing used smartphone and tablet market is the target for recently launched startup Phonesales.com.au.

Rosie Batty, the current Australian of the Year, has helped develop a new app which aims to prevent domestic violence and promotes healthy relationships
