Description

Our mission is to support Australia & New Zealand’s late seed stage founders. Since 2011, we have partnered with extraordinary founders building companies using technology to build a better future. We are looking for late seed stage founders who have a product and paying customers, in businesses across Australia & New Zealand. Our current thesis surrounds networked businesses (like platforms and marketplaces) and select SaaS, but we do engage more broadly. We have been active seed investors since 2011. We invested in Cliff, Mel and Cameron when Canva was just starting to offer paid subscription plans. We partnered with Dylan and Mark at Qwilr based on their first public beta. Peter and Tony at Mable had 350 carers on their Sydney-based marketplace when we first partnered with them.
