About Carthona Capital

Carthona is an early-stage technology focused venture capital fund based in Sydney, Australia. We have over $360m of funds under management, with our funds coming from a combination of institutional (superannuation funds) and high-net-worth family offices/individuals. We are a leading fund in Australia, were the recipient of the Venture Capital Investment of the Year award from the Australian Investment Council in 2019, and we’re currently investing out of our third fund.

We typically like to invest at a Seed or Series A stage for our first cheque, but then continue to deploy capital in subsequent funding rounds (often taking more than our pro-rata). In a number of instances, we have also invested much earlier (pre-revenue) where the opportunity is squarely within a target thematic for us at the time. We also have the ability to invest outside of Australia and New Zealand – with about 50% of our portfolio being spread between the US, the UK, and Europe. Our usual cheque sizes are $1-3m at a Seed Stage, $2-5m at a Series A stage, and $5-10m thereafter. Our approach to investing is that we like to be incredibly hands on.

At Carthona, we take our social and environmental responsibility seriously and we strive to be our very best citizen. We are a signatory to the United Nations backed Principals for Responsible Investment. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, or marital, veteran, or disability status.
