22.01.2022 ESOP changes have passed government (yay!) The federal govt after consulting with industry has developed a template of ESS documents on the ATO website here. https://www.ato.gov.au//Standard-documents-for-the-start-/ ... A good place to start but please get some professional advice.

21.01.2022 One year closed ... RIP.

06.01.2022 STARTNEST IS CLOSED! Hello StartNest friends (members, ex-coworkers, Meetup attendees, visitors and more), Just wanted to let you know that having achieved the aim of introducing Coworking to Sydney's north shore more than 2 years ago, StartNest is going to close up this week.... The original founders of StartNest created the coworking space in Crows Nest in April 2013, when it was apparent that no facility of that size existed north of the bridge and space to house StartNest became available in its building. Coworking has enjoyed tremendous growth and public attention in recent years as a mode of work, evidenced by the recent Coworking Conference in Sydney (GCUC Australia - http://au.gcuc.co) and the NSW Government support of smart work hubs. Council and state government, as well as corporate support helps make many coworking spaces viable through subsidised rent, space hire or event sponsorship. Several corporates (i.e.: NAB, Regus and Lend Lease) have commenced rolling out their own coworking spaces as part of their commitment to the startup community. As such, StartNest has found it increasingly hard to sustain its model as an independent, suburban space. So, sure whilst we’re sad StartNest is closing, It’s not all bad. In its two and a bit years, StartNest has been responsible for a Meetup group of over 2,000 members and has hosted 100’s of individuals at business networking / educational talks, pitching nights and as coworkers operating businesses from its Crows Nest base. It has attracted an incredible range of well-known speakers from the startup community and its founders have been active in broader coworking and political initiatives to support the sector. In short, we’re just a little bit chuffed with what it’s achieved for the startup community. We have learned lots and now we're moving onto new challenges. When we started this, we hoped to make an impact in the startup/coworking space and from the comments we've received over the past 27 months, it would appear that we have. Thanks for letting us be part of that. We've had a blast, but now it's time for us to move on. ** Hey, we’d love you to comment against this post to chronicle any positive effect on your startup/business or you personally through any of our activities. Just for our own kudos ;-) See you around in the community! The StartNest Team

03.01.2022 Hi all Yes, StartNest is closed, but some of the space upstairs is still available in a shared office with a couple of companies including www.Shoeboxed.com.au. Flat rate of $900 per quarter ($300 per month, but paid quarterly) + GST for a full-time desk.... We won't have meetups, but there are still beers in the fridge and people to go have lunch with and talk to about your business :-) Please be in touch if interested. Regards The ex-StartNest Team
