About The Fund

H2 Ventures is a venture capital firm and accelerator founded in 2013, located in Sydney, Australia. They specialize in investing in early-stage to later-stage companies, with a focus on financial technology (FinTech), data science, and artificial intelligence (AI). Their typical investment size ranges between $50,000 and $100,000. They offer a 20-week accelerator program designed to support 8-16 startup teams in developing their innovative ideas into market-ready products. H2 Ventures prides itself on being early supporters of high potential startups, claiming that it's never too early for them to invest. They seek to back founders with a combination of purpose, ingenuity, and instinct, characterized by their passion, industry insight, a willingness to learn, and respect for others. This philosophy extends to their investments in businesses across various sectors that integrate these technologies, such as Stockspot, Edstart, Simply Wall St, Forage, Equitise, Arken, Spriggy, Nod, Weel, Sempo, ClaimSpace, Valiant, FloodMap, Triggr, Finhay, Inspitrip, and EnterOffer. The firm operates with the aim to not only provide capital but also to offer a robust network, mentoring services, and operational guidance to turn early-stage entrepreneurs with disruptive ideas into successful, lasting ventures. In addition to financial investments, the H2 Ventures team, along with their mentors and alumni network, continue to support their portfolio companies for the lifetime of the business and sometimes even beyond. They also contribute to the FinTech community through an annual Fintech100 report which highlights innovative FinTech startups worldwide. The firm was founded by brothers Ben and Toby Heap, who have been investing in startups for over a decade, and they invite interested startups to join their mailing list for information on upcoming cohorts.
