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 capital. We back founders from Australia, the UK and South-East-Asia at Seed and Series A, and support them at every step of their journey.
We believe in
Our belief is that our founders are the superstars, and we exist to help them bring life to their ideas. Each founder’s story is unique; we look to deeply connect with it and help evolve their narrative to build an exceptional business.
Our approach
Beyond funding, we invite founders to leverage Larsen Ventures’ deep domain knowledge and experience, our embedded community of founders, and diverse network of investors and partners. We create opportunities for everyone to connect, share and learn from each other.
What we invest in
Founders with deep insight: people who understand the problem they're solving better than anyone else in the room, and have the conviction to back themselves.
Real signal, not hype: early traction that comes from genuine user pull, finding real signals in the noise. We rarely invest pre-traction unless the insight is sharp enough to convince us on its own.
Founders building for scale: technically strong teams targeting large, underserved markets across Australia, the UK and South East Asia, with the ambition to compete globally.
What we stand for
We do things differently
We actively search for opportunities rather than wait for start-ups to approach us. If we’ve reached out to you, we genuinely believe in what you're building.
And, we want in.
We're long-term
thinkers
We call it ‘patient-capital’; we think in decades, not deal cycles, and we're aligned with founders for the long haul.
We believe in
people
When we back a founder, we're all in; capital, time, networks and connections.
