But the true essence of a startup, what *really* differentiates them from established companies, is… learning!

So, what is a startup? According to Google:

Startups search for a new business model; Established companies execute a known business model.

Townsville Startups Meetup Manifesto

We believe in doing, rather than talking.

Our goal is to turn Townsville into a great place for startups.

Community is key, we strengthen ours by bringing like-minded people together and promoting collective events & activities.

Openness, diversity and curiosity are guiding principles. A startup ecosystem is composed by many actors, which support entrepreneurs in an integrated approach:

• Guidance & Knowledge• Infrastructure & Practical Support• Culture & Community• Investment & Scaling• Industry, Government & Academy• Tools & Platforms

We shall also have fun ;-) .
