Venture funding provides start-ups with the capital necessary to quickly grow their business, enabling them to scale up operations, hire talented employees, and ultimately increase their chances of success.

While funding may not be the right fit for all companies, we do look to take stakes in companies that are Seed, ready for A. The focus of the Venture Studio is to try and build sustainable companies, that leverage defensible positions, through a singular focus. We work to commercialize products and companies toward that fundable Seed to A metric. As the environment for venture and the access to global marketplaces changes, there are many paths and methods of moving from Seed to Early Stage to Growth stages beyond traditional venture methods. In these instances, we may discourage the venture model for certain companies.

In raising funding, the company should demonstrate fundability through capital efficient growth and deployment of capital and demonstrate the procurement of customers.

SV Brisbane is Not a Fund. While we currently are not a fund in Australia, we may invest ourselves, investing through a Delaware LLC, and direct longstanding global LPs. We may also work with a network of LPs globally in order to find the right specialised GP to lead. As a Venture Studio, we focus on building new ventures for corporates and accelerating ventures through this process, in such a way as to increase the success potential. Our deep technology sector and spin out focus relies on very specific engineering expertise, go to market, and collaboration with deep technology capital. We are keen to create supportive global ecosystems, that align clusters of capital, technology expertise, team, skills, and customers.
