Pitch to Main Sequence

Find your fit

We invest in early stage startups (and inventors wishing to create a startup) that have science at their core. We love to work with inventors who have an 'unreasonable belief' that they can solve an impossible challenge.

Some qualifiers to help you find the fit:

• We hope you are going after a huge problem in the world - see the 6 Challenges that we are excited to solve and consider how you fit.

• Your business will deliver a solution using cutting edge science or difficult engineering that you and your team are uniquely able to deliver.

• We invest in company foundation through Seed, Series A and Series B.

• Cheque size is between $500K and $10M per round. A typical cheque is $2m.

• Our investments must have a connection with Australian publicly funded research. This does not need to exist before investment but needs to be part of the investment design. Be ready to articulate how your company does (or could) work with an Australian university or other research group such as CSIRO. It is OK to bring science problems you need to solve and we can explore this with you.
