Airtree Ventures

Airtree Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm based in Sydney, Australia, backing technology founders across Australia and New Zealand. It invests across software-enabled sectors including enterprise software, fintech and payments, developer tools, healthcare technology, consumer and creator platforms, edtech, cybersecurity, and AI, with a growing number of deals touching climate, energy, robotics, and space. The firm typically backs companies at pre-seed and seed, including pre-product and pre-revenue teams, and reserves capital for follow-on into Series A, B, and growth rounds as companies scale. Airtree aims to lead rounds at the earliest stages and prefers to take a board seat and stay involved through a company's growth. Its current vehicle, Fund V, closed in 2025 at AUD $650 million, split into a AUD $250 million pre-seed/seed fund and a AUD $400 million growth fund for follow-on investment in breakout companies. Beyond capital, Airtree offers founders access to its network of operators, technical experts and angel investors, a library of company-building resources (Open Source VC), and dedicated programs for emerging founders and angel investors. Founders can reach the firm through a warm introduction or its website's contact form.
