Find out your Investor Readiness Score in just 2-minutes
We are a corporate advisory firm for founders inventing the future
We support the most ambitious technology founders all the way through their journey, from raising investment for the first time to an eventual exit.
Founders are at the heart of everything we do, and this fixation has led us to developing founder tools such as Australia’s VC Leaderboard as well as the Investor Readiness Scorecard.
Our approach is best described through two perspectives - the telescope - identifying visionary founders inventing the future, and - the microscope - meticulous in our analysis and assessment.
