Supporting exceptional Australian Founders through Capital and Contribution

We’re creating better outcomes for startups and early stage investors

We are a collective of good agent investors with proven startup success

Together with our network we have a track record in making good decisions in early stage companies. Good decisions build better ventures; from matching the right investors to the right startups to help navigate the challenges of early stage companies.

Access smart capital

We can tap a healthy pool of good agent investment in an efficient way. We’re straight shooters. We understand the importance of balancing speed with diligence. It’s why we access great deals.

Hands on

We are entrepreneurs and business builders. Because we’ve done it before we can help startups beyond investment with the right expertise and connections when it’s needed.

Transparent and honest

We are founder-friendly. For a venture to truly succeed creating the right dynamics between investors and founders is key. These are values we live by.

Founders as people

We don’t see the startups in our portfolio as statistics. We’ll back all founders who are committed to making their vision happen and give them the support they need.

Our Investment Process

Keeping with our values of being Transparent and Honest, our six-step Investment Process is out in the open for everyone so we’re all on the same page.
