— Our approach
How we back founders, from pre-seed.
We back conviction early and stay close. Here’s how we think about the journey from idea to scale, and where we show up along the way.
Technology products are hard to create and commercialise, and the people who create them are hard to recruit and lead.
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.
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.
