Are there any aussie or global websites for investing in Australian start up / small business ideas / inventions ?
 
I haven't invested in any of the companies listed on ASSOB yet but it's a source I usually keep my eye on for identifying good businesses, and performing "scuttlebutt" approach to investing.

Business with unrealistic revenue projections, or short-term thinking (i.e. with 2-3 yrs Exit Strategy, or IPO flipping) are easy for me to ignore.

Valuation can be tricky (especially for unproven but promising businesses).
 
Aussie startups and small business on the internet worth looking at for investment.

Chumba Casino (Virtual Gaming Worlds) or Safe Worlds TV
 
I've just finished going through the 100 or so companies from the yearbook of NSX.

Few observations:
  • About 50% (or more) of the companies listed here are subsidiaries (community banks) of Adelaide and Bendigo bank (ASX:BEN)
  • Ill-liquid market (though that is not necessarily a bad thing for a long-term investor)
  • Financial Statements of these companies is not available. It's hard (but not impossible) to value a business without glancing at it's financial statements.
