We Back
Emerging Founders
from their first rounds.
We're an Aussie pre-seed to seed VC that invests up to $500k in emerging founders building new technology in global markets, often before anyone else.
Pre-Seed VC
We're not afraid to back first-time founders
We've invested in over 20 companies founded by exceptional emerging founders creating radically new products and markets.
We do AI, software, hardware and deeptech.
$200k-$500k investment, flexible terms
We lead most investments or can follow existing larger rounds. We co-invest with the world's leading global VCs from seed and help you with follow-on funding.
Multi-sector investing, founder-led thesis
We believe interesting founders will take us into interesting new markets. We're one of the few pre-seed funds that invests across sectors, enterprise to consumer and deeptech.
