Flow Hive Indiegogo campaign raises $2 million in 2 days; 5 factors to consider when pricing products; VCs on super funds and startups

StartupSmart
Dear StartupSmart reader,
An Indiegogo campaign for a beehive that allows beekeepers to harvest honey simply by turning a tap has become one of Australia’s most successful crowdfunding campaigns, raising over $2 million in two days.

The Australian startup ecosystem needs to prove itself before accessing capital from super funds, according to the head of Australia’s peak body for the superannuation industry.

Former federal sports minister Kate Lundy will join the board of the Australian Sports Technologies Network in order to coordinate the growth of Australia’s competitive sports technology industry.

A Melbourne-based startup is working towards developing a robotic arm that will help people with limited upper mobility in their day-to-day tasks.

Here are five factors to consider when pricing products or services.

Appster is partnering up with the Department of Education in Tasmania and New Town High School in Hobart to create a new course designed to teach students the foundations of coding and app creation.

Google adding Inbox by Gmail to Google at Work, issues new warning to webmasters.

The purpose and implementation of the Australian government’s proposed metadata retention scheme is making less sense as political pressure mounts to get the legislation passed. So what’s going on?

Nothing can cause confusion and doubt in a business like pricing your products and services. While you don’t want to charge less than you are worth, you also don’t want to price yourself out of the market, so how do you know if your price is right?
