Canberra-based entrepreneur Stephenie Rodriguez has lived in Australia for 20 years, is set on raising her daughter here, but the founder of personal safety technology start-up WanderSafe has incorporated her business in the US.

Ms Rodriguez told The Australian Financial Review that statistics showing that less than 2 per cent of the total capital pool in Australia was used to back women founders, were a big factor in her deciding it would be easier to create a US company and have some Australian investors involved, rather than try to raise all of its capital here.

"Truthfully, the US is where the money is," she said.

YOU might notice that the buskers around the city seem to be a little smaller than usual on Tuesday — but you will certainly notice they are amazingly talented.

The elite Sydney Youth Orchestras will swap the concert halls for the city streets as they perform 12 hours of live music at Martin Place, Circular Quay and Central Station from 7.30am, for an expected 600,000 passers-by.

It will be a rare chance to enjoy Australia’s leading youth orchestra, which in August performed the gruelling 90-minute Bruckner Symphony No.8 that makes professional musicians sweat.
