Whilst our investment strategy is not solely dedicated to one industry, we do believe there is an untapped market opportunity within the tech space, and we’re uniquely placed to exploit it.

That market opportunity includes access to a global customer base representing 76% of the world’s economy using one of the most modern cloud development platforms in the world – SAP Cloud Platform.

0% of the top 100 most valued brands in the world are SAP customers

SAP Cloud Platform is a flexible, powerful Platform as a Service (PaaS) which gives you easy access to the SAP market, while making it simple to create—and scale—your idea into the cloud app customers are looking for.

There is no better way to demonstrate this than the current pilots and customer pipeline of our second funded start up – Growing Teams. In just 3 months after MVP they are live with two pilots in large enterprise and have a growing list of global opportunities.

SAP Cloud Platform is all about simplifying the integration and extending the value of SAP applications and data. Compatibility and integration are no longer barriers. Any solution you develop on this platform will automatically snap into SAP customer environments.

A global network within easy reach

When your apps are ready for market, it’s easy to reach the SAP network (which includes more than 320,000 businesses). Simply upload your applications to the SAP App Centre and customers can find your solutions with a click. Customers can try out your apps right there to decide if the solution fits their needs. You can probably imagine how that helps accelerate purchases.

SAP also promotes its cloud platform globally, driving potential customers to your solutions.

A global network within easy reach

We’ve partnered with the only proven SAP Cloud Platform development team in Australia. Want to build it yourself? No problem - SAP Cloud Platform supports popular languages and development environments like Java, node.js, and Ruby - letting you leverage the skills you already have. There’s no more need to send your under-30 developers to ABAP class.

The bottom line

The end result is the slashing of development time; accomplishing in days what would take months without SAP Cloud Platform. Your apps get to market faster, and your customers can start seizing opportunities that were never before possible. A win-win if ever there was one.

Our priority is to ensure each dollar invested creates a net positive injection of new skills to Australia & that those skills build Australian based businesses with global ambitions.

What does that mean?

For start-ups in need of seed capital

We’ll work with you to find the right level of investment and the optimal revenue or ownership model to suit your business. Everything from zero interest loans to revenue sharing to shareholding. It means we support your innovation strategy with government and it means we ensure you think global…always! Remember, our philosophy is underpinned by a belief in creating future global success from within Australia…that may not be what you're used to from the typical VC.

Uni students or tech founders

Think twice when deciding on development skills or platforms. Our partner, Approach Solutions, has built a world class development team straight out of the University of NSW & the University of Wollongong. One of our start-ups has developed an Enterprise grade pure Cloud business application and has 2 pilots in play with 10 customer opportunities in the first 3 months post MVP.
