How we partner & invest

We are a group of experienced executives who work, have worked or have led businesses that disrupt industries. We have also experienced disruption first hand having worked for companies whose model was disrupted by technology. We are schooled at picking technological disruption and then backing the teams that harness and deploy disruptive technology.

Our focus is in Australia, South East Asia, US and Israel. We have a network of contacts that span Asia, Oceania, US & Israel. We are active in SAAS, Payments, Fintech, Big Data, LegalTech, Media and Entertainment.

We use our own private capital to invest in startups. On some occasions we open up the opportunity to our vetted syndicated partners.

We like to get in early (angel investment) and work with founders to grow the business until the next funding round. We are onboard and share our network, our experience and our resources. We are with you through the highs and the lows.

In order to make an assessment we undertake the following process:

1. Startup Submission - you submit via email a keynote illustrating the disruptive potential. We are looking for information that helps us understand how and what you are disrupting.

2. Initial Assessment - we typically meet the founders, get a feel for the team, understand the idea/product/service from a disruption perspective. Meeting will be in person or via VC.

3. Analysis - we assess and make a determination of your business, your team, and your market. Our assessment is based on the magnitude of the disruptive potential.

4. Term Sheet - we come back to you with an investment proposal that is structured to be simple and clear. Our aim is to balance our risk versus the opportunity to work with outstanding founders.

We believe in straight talk, complete transparency and simplicity.
