Everyday, we get to work with amazing founders and their mind-blowing ideas: nothing excites us more.

Who we are

We’re an early-stage investment fund backed by family. We help young Australian education and health tech businesses get off the ground by providing support at every step in their journey.

We believe in

Our belief is that our founders are the superstars, and we exist to help them bring life to their innovative concepts. Each founder’s story is unique; we look to deeply connect with it and help evolve their narrative and build an exceptional business.

Our approach

Beyond funding, we invite founders to leverage the Larsen Ventures’ deep domain knowledge and experience, our embedded community of founders, and diverse network of investors and partners. We create opportunities for everyone in the family to connect, share and learn from each other.

What we invest in

Our backbone is investing in Australian technology-driven education and health businesses at the Seed or Series A funding stage. Above all, we invest in founders who have a strong vision and where we are deeply aligned and agree on a pathway to sustainable and valuable growth.

What we stand for

We do things differently

We actively search for investment opportunities rather than wait for companies to approach us. So, if we’ve reached out to you, we genuinely believe your idea has great potential. And, we want in.

We're long-term

thinkers

We say we have ‘patient-capital’; that means, we think big picture and align with founders for the long haul. At each step of your journey, we’re here to support your growth.

We believe in

people

Our enthusiasm is as big as yours. When we inject capital, time, brains and determination into founders and young companies with big ambitions, we’re in deep, like you.

Our own beginnings

Larsen Ventures was established in 2012 by father and son duo, Peter and Andrew Larsen, as the venture investment arm of their Family Office. Taking inspiration from Peter’s ambitious education concept in 1994, we now look to support young businesses grow and expand just like Peter did with Navitas.
