Side Stage Ventures
Side Stage Ventures is a founder-led venture capital fund that backs the top 1% of founders in Australia at the earliest stage. We write small cheques into the best early stage companies. Then we lean in to help the founders build & scale. We are a team of founders who have backed and built two Australian unicorns, raised over $200M from some of the best VC’s in the world, been acquired by Apple, bootstrapped to $20M + revenue and built Australia’s first dedicated revenue-based startup investment fund. We started investing together, as a syndicate, alongside a community of 100+ founders and operators and now we’re building the seed fund that we wish we had when we were starting out.
