✨ Fox Verdict

Investment thesis

Blackbird invests unreasonably early in ambitious Australian and New Zealand founders, writing first cheques at the pre-seed and seed stage even before there is a product or idea, then doubling down through a dedicated growth fund as companies scale. Its new $1.05 billion raise is split into two funds - one early-stage vehicle sized for small first cheques and one growth fund for later rounds - so tiny and large investments never compete. The firm invests heavily in ecosystem-building through programs and events (Sunrise, Giants, Foundry, Something New dinners), aiming to build decade-long relationships with founders and generate strong returns for investors including Australian superannuation funds.
