The B2B VC that helps ANZ tech co’s scale to the UK and USA.

Our goal is to be the preferred fund of choice for founders and investors by providing superior returns through a differentiated, value-added portfolio support.

Our team have all been founders. We know the entrepreneur’s journey first-hand. We know what it’s like to survive the startup rollercoaster.

Our approach

A VC firm run by ex-operators who add value beyond the capital.

Founded by founders

Our team have been founders. We know the entrepreneur’s journey first-hand, and have helped hundreds of others.

We help with the ‘how’

Founders usually know what they need to do, but not always how to do it. We bring the frameworks and tools to work that out.

A global tribe

Our investors and venture partners include many successful entrepreneurs, willing to share their experience and connections.

Values

Transparency, authenticity and performance.

We get our hands dirty supporting the founders we back — from market entry and expansion, to unlocking the inhibitors to growth and founder performance.
