Shearwater Capital is a venture capital firm with a unique approach to investing. They prioritize investing in passionate founders committed to building generationally great companies, focusing on the people behind the ideas rather than just the ideas themselves.
The firm has a strong interest in adtech, digital media, and B2B SaaS companies.
With a headquarters at 135-153 New South Head Road Edgecliff NSW 2027 Australia, Shearwater Capital targets investments across early stages, including Seed, Series A, Series B, Series C, and Pre-IPO, with investment amounts ranging from a minimum of $50,000 to a maximum of $5,000,000.
Their investment philosophy is centered around venture capital done differently, evidenced by their experienced team who have built their own businesses and are now investing their own money without the typical limitations and constraints of traditional venture funds. Shearwater Capital focuses on fast growth tech companies but remains infinitely inquisitive, looking beyond rigid criteria to support founders with high integrity and the potential to scale.
They are interested in simple capital tables with aligned participating shareholders and do not adhere to a fund horizon, which allows them to be strategic and patient investors for the long haul. Their support is aimed at assisting companies to succeed on their own terms and they are open to buying founder or secondary shares when it makes sense. The firm values complex domains, recurring revenue business models, and growing markets.
Their portfolio showcases their success in various tech sectors. Shearwater Capital remains committed to being fundamentally different from other venture funds by combining their depth of experience and unique investment approach to build strong partnerships with the founders they support.
We invest in founders who are passionate about building generationally great companies. We invest in people, not ideas. Particular interest in adtech, digital media, and B2B SaaS.
