Most government assistance in the technology sector is targeted at early-stage entrepreneurs, while growth companies are under-serviced and left to find their own way. Once companies move beyond the "exciting, early-stage start-up" they are subject to pressure pulling them offshore. Two recent examples are Shoes of Prey, which moved to Los Angeles leaving a branch office in Sydney, and Bigcommerce, which now has an American CEO and 400 staff in San Francisco and Austin, compared to 50 in Sydney.
