1. List of Active Australian Angel Investor Contacts - 579 Contacts

Angel investing involves individuals or groups who provide capital for start-up businesses without revenue, typically in exchange for convertible debt or ownership equity. These investors provide the seed funding needed to kick-start operations. They typically invest between AUD $10,000 and $500,000.

An angel investor often contributes not just capital but valuable advice and mentorship, taking an active interest in the company’s development. Active start-up investors are not just financial backers but partners who provide guidance, connections, and support to help start-ups navigate the early challenges of business growth. They are keen on technology start-ups, innovative business models, and companies with potential for rapid scale.

2. List of Active Private Equity and Growth Investors - 495 Contacts

Private equity firms provide much larger sums, generally investing in millions, and can go as high as hundreds of millions, depending on the target company's valuation and growth stage. These investments usually target companies with established revenues and proven business models that require capital to expand or restructure operations, enter new markets, or finance a significant acquisition. Private equity investments are not limited by sector, although there is a keen interest in high-growth industries like fintech, biotech, infrastructure and sustainable energy solutions.

3. List of Australian-Based Family Offices - 74 Investor Contacts

Family offices manage the private fortunes of affluent families, with the dual goal of growing the family wealth and preserving it for future generations. Investments can range widely, from small seed investments in start-ups to major stakes in large enterprises. They might also invest in real estate, hedge funds, and philanthropic activities. Their investment decisions are often guided by the family’s values and long-term goals, making them more flexible in terms of investment criteria and horizons.

4. List of Australian Venture Funds - 280 Investor Contacts

Venture funds are investment funds that manage the money of investors seeking private equity stakes in start-ups and small-to-medium-sized enterprises with strong growth potential. As active investors, these funds actively invest in various sectors, including technology, healthcare, and renewable energy, aiming to invest in companies that show potential for significant economic returns. They play a proactive role in the lifecycle of the companies they invest in, from the early fundraising process to providing ongoing support and guidance. Venture funds typically operate with a lifecycle of 5 to 10 years, investing from $500,000 to $10 million in a single round of financing, often participating in several rounds as the company grows. Among the sectors of particular interest is climate tech, where venture funds are keen on supporting innovative solutions to climate-related challenges, often through their portfolio companies.

5. List of Venture Debt Providers - 50 Investor Contacts

Venture debt refers to loans provided to venture-backed debt funds that may not yet be profitable or generating significant revenues but have raised substantial equity capital from reputable venture capital investors. This type of debt is less dilutive than equity financing, allowing founders to retain more control while accessing the capital needed for growth. Venture debt can range from $500,000 to several million dollars and is typically used alongside equity financing to extend a company's runway and finance key growth initiatives.

5. List of Brokers & Advisory Companies - 130 Investor Contacts

These firms play a critical role in the capital raising ecosystem by connecting businesses with the right investors. They also provide strategic advice on structuring deals, negotiating terms, and navigating regulatory requirements. Investment brokers and advisors are indispensable for companies looking to engage in complex transactions such as initial public offerings (IPOs), mergers, and acquisitions.

6. Accelerators and Capital Raising Programs - 106 Investor Contacts

Accelerators support early-stage, growth-driven companies through education, mentorship, and financing in a fixed-period, cohort-based setting. This results in an intensive, rapid, and immersive education aimed at accelerating the life cycle of young innovative companies, compressing years’ worth of learning-by-doing into just a few months. Such programs often culminate in a public pitch event or demo day to accelerate fundraising. Typical investments from accelerators range from $10,000 to $120,000 in exchange for equity. Additionally, accelerators often collaborate with angel groups to further bridge the gap to funding rounds.
