Plan B
Raising money…
Tough Exhausting Time Consuming Distracting But victory is very sweet!

Plan B
The Australian Venture Capital sector is relatively small
In the US, VCs manage billions, in Australia the biggest would manage around $300m

Plan B
The of success of digital start-ups has inspired a whole new generation of Angels, Incubators and VCs.

Remember when pitching…

Plan A Plan B
Investors generally see lots of ‘pitch-decks’ or Information Memorandums
Investors also have their areas of interest or focus. Might be due to experience or investment theme
Rule of thumb of investing 1 in 100 is generally right
Assess the investor / VC firm
15/04/2023 10
Plan A Plan B
Portfolio / Investment track record
Track record of Directors / Partners (have they grown a business themselves)
Size of fund (do they have money for follow-on rounds).
Speak to their other investees (understand how hands on the team is and how good their network is)
Generally… the process is..
15/04/2023 11
Plan A Plan B1. You send in a ‘pitch-deck’ which gets reviewed
2. In most instances, you’ll at least have the chance for a one-on-one or a phone call (I always meet/speak)
3. If there is interest, DD starts (start to end can be 6 weeks to 6 months). Make sure you are clear on process so you don’t get ‘strung along’
4. Angels less likely to have a formal process
Our areas of focus
15/04/2023 12
Plan A Education
Health
Financial Services
Property (including services)
Our approach
15/04/2023 13
Plan A
We don’t manage a fund. Its all ‘Principal
Money’
Means we are pretty flexible
Can invest $0.5M - $10M (generally in stages)
Must be cash generating (not necessarily
profitable)
We invest where we can add value so our
approach is generally ‘high touch’
What we look at…
15/04/2023 14
Plan A
People. People. People. (can’t stress how important this
is)
Problem being solved
Growth opportunity (how big can this business get)
What do we need to believe for this to be a success (and
test the assumptions)
