About
We're product and engineering people ourselves. We put the first cheque and real time behind founders building across Australia and New Zealand - and we know how to spot the real ones early.
Investment approach
- Thesis
- We use our experience in tech product management and engineering to find and support teams setting out to build a world-class technology product, from day one. Our geographic scope is Australia and New Zealand, and we invest from pre-seed stage onwards.Source (opens in a new tab)
- Eligibility
- We don't invest in startups that aren't improving the world, including: Gambling, speculation; Eroding mental or physical health; Creating/reinforcing addiction. We don't invest in startups targeting customers in the extraction industries (fossil fuels and mining) or in defence or 'dual-use' startups. We expect every startup we invest in to collaborate with us on improving the diversity of their board, leadership and team.
