The Fund is strategically focused on investing in high-growth sectors, including fintech, blockchain, online marketplaces, enterprise software, artificial intelligence, and other promising ventures selected at the discretion of the General Partner (GP). It targets investments in early-stage companies, from seed to Series-A rounds, typically deploying between A$100,000 to A$3 million per investment. This approach allows the Fund to tap into emerging markets and innovative technologies, positioning itself to capitalize on substantial long-term growth potential.
The Fund’s exit strategy is designed with a proactive approach, focusing on leveraging established financial institutional relationships to identify strategic mergers and acquisitions (M&A) opportunities for its investees. While initial public offerings (IPOs) are considered, M&A is prioritized as a more immediate and potentially lucrative exit route. To mitigate concentration risk, the Fund ensures that no more than 30% of its overall portfolio value is allocated to any single investment, thus maintaining a diversified and balanced portfolio.
Eligible investee companies must meet several criteria, including scalable business models, massive addressable markets, and defendable intellectual property, with a committed and coachable founding team. These attributes ensure the Fund is positioned to support ventures with significant growth and market validation potential.
