Thesis

Big things start small. We invest at seed stage and see potential where others don't. We believe in your vision for your company's future, not as it exists today. We think in decades, not days, committing to walk the entire journey with founders to build iconic companies. We share Antipodean ingenuity with the world.

Likely not a fit for

We avoid pure play hardware, gambling/casino businesses, and non-technology ventures without strong tech differentiation.
