BSI USA Secures Record Numbers at Investor Forum - Presents Leading Australian
Tech to Silicon Valley Investors at Stanford University

PALO ALTO, Calif., July 23 /PRNewswire/ -- BSI USA, Australia's leading
private business export development company in the USA, has secured record
numbers at the Investor Forum for the six of Australian tech companies it has
brought over to Silicon Valley this week.
    According to BSI USA CEO David Brown more than 80 investors attended the
Australian BSI USA Investor Forum session, which is held prior to the
prestigious AlwaysOn & STVP Summit at Stanford, CA [July 22 - 24, 2008]. BSI
USA is an AlwaysOn partner.
    BSI USA supports innovative Australian companies that want to enter the
USA market in the right way -- often with VC finding, partners, clients, and
new board members.
    Coaching, high-level introductions, and messaging and presentation
delivery is all part of the BSI USA package which is unique to the USA.
    Brown says BSI USA offers similar programs for USA companies wanting
access to the Australian market with tax, partnering, and strategic advice and
connections usually only available to large companies.
    BSI USA CEO David Brown said this years' team from Australia was
particularly impressive and he was keen to see the investor response to the
hand picked executives.
    "BSI USA works closely with the executives in the weeks prior to make sure
they are absolutely prepared for the presentations and networking sessions
that could literally catapult them into the USA with funding and powerful
partners," said Brown.
    The three day pre-conference preparation program developed by BSI USA
includes a one on one presentation by AlwaysOn Founder [and former founder of
RedHerring] Tony Perkins], and a private session with lead venture capital
firm Southern Cross Ventures.
    The six companies have also heard first hand from Valley-based Australian
success stories such as Gower Smith from Zoom Systems about how they secured
capital and established their companies in this highly competitive market.
