PE/VC investors
Private Equity (PE) and Venture Capital (VC) investors are the catalysts of innovation and growth in the business world. PE firms primarily target established companies, seeking to optimize operations and unlock value through strategic investments and management expertise. They focus on long-term growth and profitability, often preparing businesses for a future sale or IPO. VC investors, by contrast, are the adventurers of finance, injecting capital into high-potential startups and early-stage companies. They embrace risk for the possibility of outsized returns, often becoming invaluable advisors. Both investor types not only bring capital but also strategic guidance, industry connections, and market insights, propelling their portfolio companies towards success.

Rampersand
Founders blaze their own trails in the complex jungle of international commerce. They get there faster with the right support. Having worked in a series of successful startups (sold to the likes of Oracle, Facebook and Singtel), our team knows how exhilarating and challenging building a big company can be.

Back then, there were very few venture capital funds in Australia. Our partners had recently returned from the US and were worried breakthrough support was far too hard for Australian founders to access.

<br />
<br />
<br />
Founders thrive when they get more than just money from their investors. Those who go the whole way need investors to join their team, not the other way round. Investors who make introductions to target customers, future staff, and leading international funds when you’re ready. Investors who pitch in when their expertise is needed, and who aren’t there just for shiny investor reports, but also when things get hard.

We’re incredibly proud of the founders Rampersand has backed. We invest early, and we like to follow on. We’re a small team, so there is minimal red tape and no fuss. It’s not about us. We love to hear from founders early, so get in touch today - even if just to get on our radar before you decide to raise.
