"We met Omar and Nathan through a Venture Partner when Adora was still an idea shared among friends. Omar had lived this problem at Canva, Nathan at Amazon, and together they saw what others couldn’t: the power of visualising the full product experience. You rarely get to work alongside someone who’s watched this problem inside the best companies in the world and then builds exactly for that."

—Maxine Minter, General Partner

"We help teams like Canva, Notion and Linktree understand their user journeys and uncover friction. As products scale, it becomes impossible to know what your own product looks like. Nathan and I felt this frustration—me as Head of Product Growth at Canva with 220m+ users, him leading engineering at Amazon. It's not just a big-company problem; fast-scaling startups face the same challenges."

—Omar Salem, Co-founder/CEO, Adora

"Cheryl spent over a decade embedded in Australia’s startup scene (that’s where we met) and saw a gap: access to founders and capital. As the first-mover building pooled syndicate infrastructure in Australia, this was the right team to build what the market needed."

—Maxine Minter, General Partner

“Australia needed a way for angels to connect with founders, and founders to access capital without friction.”

—Cheryl Mack, Co-founder/CEO, Aussie Angels

They’ve shown incredible velocity out of New Zealand, and now, onwards to the US.”

—Maxine Minter, General Partner

—Harry Wilde, Co-founder/Co-CEO, Cotiss

“Retail runs in Simon’s blood. He’s spent his career building in this space, and we’re all in on his mission: making it delightful to be a retailer.

—Maxine Minter, General Partner

“We want Flagship to be to the retail world what Canva is to design — an essential, intuitive platform that transforms the industry.”

—Simon Molnar, Founder/CEO, Flagship

Fourday is building tools to make AI accessible and valuable for everyone, starting with Prompt Cowboy, which helps users craft prompts that actually get results."

—Maxine Minter, General Partner

"We're not here to replace you. We're here to make you irreplaceable."

––Henry Badgery, Co-founder, Fourday

Nathan’s a serial founder with global experience and prior exits—and now he’s back in Australia, building a truly global company.”

—Maxine Minter, General Partner

“We’re building the orchestration platform and data ecosystem for modern GTM teams.”

—Nathan Merzvinskis, Founder/CEO, Freckle

“Construction makes up 9% of Australia’s GDP, and the sector’s surprisingly tech-forward—but they rely on fragmented tools—WhatsApp, SMS, email. Adam’s product and construction experience, paired with Sajith’s product skills, powers a purpose-built messaging app for tradies.”

—Maxine Minter, General Partner

“Tradies shouldn’t have to juggle 10 apps to get a job done. GoTradie keeps everything in one place—fast, simple, and built for the way we actually work.”

—Adam Fazzani, Founder/CEO, GoTradie

"This is our first investment in vertical AI voice, and the opportunity is huge. Healthcare already outsources admin to expensive human solutions, and Lyngo’s AI can do it faster, cheaper, and at scale. With one successful exit behind them, a working distribution strategy, and relentless ambition, this team is poised to build a category-defining company in a US$342B+ market."

—Maxine Minter, General Partner

“We started Lyngo to remove the admin burden in healthcare. From day one, our goal was simple: build something that actually helps, not just adds cost. We built one of the world’s first AI receptionists—designed to do what clinics need most. Clinics using Lyngo save hours every day.”

—Tanmay Patel, Co-founder, Lyngo

“Hardy and Shak are deep experts in financial infrastructure. They worked together at Sharesies—Shak as a product manager, Hardy as employee #2. Marloo is our first investment into a pre-pre-seed venture: backing founders for their deep understanding of a problem space, even before a concrete idea exists. They’re being funded to explore and develop—and boy, did they deliver!”

—Maxine Minter, General Partner

“At Sharesies, we scaled an investing platform to serve hundreds of thousands of users and manage billions in assets. We learned what it takes to build trust, navigate regulation, manage rapid growth, and deliver an exceptional product. We’ve seen the need for financial advice firsthand. We believe the problem isn't bad advice; it's the lack of good advice at scale. That's why we built Marloo.”

—Hardy Michel, Co-Founder/Co-CEO, Marloo

“Excited to welcome our first VP-led company into the Co Ventures portfolio. We invested for two reasons. First, AI unlocking automation in the services industry is one of the biggest opportunities of our era. Second, migration as a service is high-stakes and painful—but Matilda delivers a delightful, tech-first solution that’s high-touch and highly personalized."

—Maxine Minter, General Partner

“Matilda can bring the people, community and skills Australia needs for a prosperous future.”

—Niamh Mooney, Co-founder, Matilda

"We invest in founders pre-seed, which means we’re along for the ride for whatever they build. Our original investment was in Amber’s micro-influencer tool, but what excites us most is her ability to heat-seek opportunities and build incredible products. When she pivoted to frozen yoghurt — a retail/food concept with outstanding unit economics — we were thrilled to keep backing her taste, speed, and Gen Z intuition."

—Maxine Minter, General Partner

“I’ve pivoted into a space that feels 100% me — founder-market fit to the core. In NYC, it was clear: great dessert hangouts are scarce, Gen Z craves shareable experiences, and lifestyle-driven brands are winning. I called Saul, my longtime hospo collaborator, and by the end of his first month, he was all in. Together, we have the dream team, a proven concept rooted in Aussie food culture, and a huge untapped opportunity."

—Amber Linz, Co-founder, Mimi’s

“We invested in Angus and the MyGig team because they’re tackling a massive $650B global market: casual and shift work. MyGig is building an AI-first workforce-as-a-service platform that automates the admin-heavy, low-margin work of employing, onboarding, and managing workers at scale. Angus is a repeat founder with operational expertise, and we’re excited to back this team solving a huge, non-obvious problem.”

—Maxine Minter, General Partner

"Work is changing. Flexibility is no longer optional. We’re building the first AI-powered Workforce-as-a-Service platform to be the leading marketplace for hourly workers across APAC."

—Maxine Minter, General Partner

"Parenting shouldn’t come with a manual buried in Google search results. We give families the right advice at the right time, so they can feel confident in every decision."

—Jo, Co-founder/CEO, Ren

—Maxine Minter, General Partner

"As an elite athlete, I’ve always made decisions based on data. Rythm Health was born from that same principle: if the data exists, we can use it to live healthier, smarter lives."

—Robby, Co-founder/CEO, Rythm Health

"We invested in Shopfront because 92 million tonnes of textile waste end up in landfill each year, while second-hand marketplaces are hungry for stock.

—Nate Spiteri, Co-founder/CEO, Shopfront

—Maxine Minter, General Partner

"The best content comes from your product people. That's why we made the first blog workflow platform designed for product and marketing teams."

—Alex Pan, Co-founder/CEO, Storipress

"Visual communication is taking over—TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, and beyond. Across cultures, comics and storyboards have long bridged language gaps. In the GenAI era, fast, intuitive visual tools unlock AI’s full potential. What Canva did for graphic design, Storytribe could do for anyone who communicates visually—governments, animators, UX designers, and more. Elegant, intuitive, and going viral—Yunmie's just getting started."

—Maxine Minter, General Partner

“StoryTribe feels like the connection of all the dots in my life — from my teenage years filling school books with drawings, to moving across countries, to building a career in UX and product design. Every skill and lesson feels packaged into this product, now offered back to the world. Hearing people say, ‘I’ve been waiting for this all my life’ makes me feel like this is exactly what I was meant to build.”

—Yunmie Kim, Founder/CEO, StoryTribe

Storytelling is one of the most powerful levers for early-stage startups—and one of the hardest to scale. With Supercharge, they’re building an AI-first content platform that delivers storytelling ‘out of the box’ for founders. This sits right at the intersection of two big theses we believe in: the automation of services and personalization at scale. If anyone can build it, it’s Adam and Sachin.”

—Maxine Minter, General Partner

He’s the right founder to solve it.”

—Christopher Bartlett, CEO, Tapestry

“Turnto is tackling one of the biggest challenges in healthcare: making health content accessible. After her twins’ Cerebral Palsy diagnosis, Jess saw firsthand how hard it is for patients and carers to find clear, trustworthy information. With Turnto, she’s building an AI-native health content platform to help patients and carers access relevant, up-to-date, easy-to-understand health content.

—Maxine Minter, General Partner

—Jessica London, Founder/CEO, Turnto

"This investment aligns with our focus on backing first-mover AI applications in critical industries. Construction estimation is broken—billions are lost each year to slow, error-prone manual processes. I couldn’t think of a better founding duo to transform how projects are estimated."

—Maxine Minter, General Partner

"No one is going to work harder than us at this problem.”

—Jacky Wong, Co-founder/CEO, Zoros AI

"This is a dream team coming together to solve a problem they’ve lived and built for.

—Maxine Minter, General Partner
