Rampersand
We invest in phenomenal tech founders from inception to seed stages across Australia and New Zealand, backing those with abnormal ambition and game-changing ideas.
Company mission
Our mission is to back ambitious early-stage founders across Australia and New Zealand with deep expertise in their field - people solving real, often niche problems they’re genuinely passionate and knowledgeable about. We look for complementary skill sets, clarity on the product and team required to win, and the drive to build enduring, category-defining companies.
What draws us in is unique technology, scalable business models, and exceptional founders with the ambition to build something meaningful.
Since 2013, we’ve invested AUD110M+ as first cheques into 35+ companies, including Goterra, JigSpace, Restoke and Expert360. Beyond capital, we bring hands-on product counsel from experienced operators and product leaders who’ve built and scaled product-led companies (many of which have reached unicorn scale) alongside a deeply connected global network that opens the right doors at the right time.
From day one, we help founders build real commercial momentum. Through a deliberate, founder-first approach to introductions, we generate warm, high-quality leads to support a company’s first wave of customers and early growth.
