The Sydney indie SaaS scene
Sydney's indie SaaS cohort sits in the long shadow of Atlassian and Canva, which means the technical talent ecosystem and customer-research instincts are both strong. The cohort is mostly remote-native, sells into the US market by default, and accepts that the bulk of working hours don't overlap the dominant buyer timezone.
