What is Hyper?

Hyper is an investment firm headquartered in Melbourne, Sydney, and London, catering to early-stage tech entrepreneurs across industries such as Media, Business Solutions, Retail (including E-Commerce), HealthTech (and Fitness), Cloud Services (and Infrastructure), Impact, Medical Devices (and Hospital Services), Healthcare (and Wellness), and Consumer.

They specialize in supporting the pre-seed, seed, early-stage, and Series A financing rounds with an investment range fixed at $300,000. Hyper's mission is to level the playing field for early-stage tech entrepreneurs by granting every startup idea the best chance of success, irrespective of the entrepreneur's experience, background, network, or capabilities.

They achieve this through their 'Hyper Accelerate Process' which includes workshopping ideas, creating business monetization models, developing pitches, prototyping, and guiding start-ups toward investor readiness.

Moreover, they provide legal support foundations and a branding design approach to ensure each product is not only functional but also user-centric and market-ready. They offer access to their partner network and emphasize testing the solution in the market early to gather valuable feedback.

With a strong track record, including launching successful startups in music, commerce, health, social, and education sectors, Hyper positions itself as an invaluable asset to entrepreneurs from ideation through development, and onto the investment stage, promising a safe starting point and an 'unfair advantage' in the competitive startup landscape.
