They invest in a range of industries including Software, IT & TMT, FinTech & Financial Services, Retail & E-Commerce, IoT & Wearables, A.I. & Big Data, Investment Management, and Mobile. Macdoch Ventures targets emerging companies across Australia and New Zealand, particularly those with monthly recurring revenues of $25,000 to $100,000+, favoring networked businesses, marketplaces, B2B SaaS, and infrastructure enabling businesses. They position themselves as a supportive partner right from the beginning, often catalyzing a company's first funding round. With a preference for B2B SaaS, marketplaces, and tech 'picks and shovels' plays, their initial checks typically range from $500,000 to $750,000. Macdoch Ventures values relationships over formalities, choosing regular catch-ups and informal communication over board participation. They are deeply invested in the ANZ ecosystem, with a belief that successful investments will foster the next generation of founders in the region. Their portfolio showcases a diverse group of founders, with investments in over 30 companies since 2015, and they build relationships with global VCs to help find the perfect investors for their portfolio companies. Macdoch Ventures prides itself on being a small, nimble team consisting of Eliza Jackson as Lead Investor and Michael Robinson as Co-founder & Operating Partner. They welcome direct contact from potential investees and strive to be accessible even without a warm introduction.
We invest in companies across ANZ with $25-100k+ in MRR and particularly love networked businesses, marketplaces, B2B SaaS and infrastructure enabler businesses.
