Investment thesis

NVI operates as a university-linked incubator and accelerator rather than a capital fund, focusing on inspiring, connecting and educating entrepreneurs and innovators. Through programs such as the Venture Dorm pre-accelerator, eNVIsion incubator, and an Innovative Manufacturing Accelerator, it supports founders across South Australia and links them to Flinders University's researchers, prototyping facilities and global networks. It emphasizes building innovation capability, helping ventures begin, expand and innovate, and pointing participants toward alternative funding sources including government grants.

Cherubic Ventures

Cherubic Ventures is known for investing before a startup even launches or reaches product-market fit, often as the first institutional investor, while also setting aside half of its latest fund for follow-on support all the way through pre-IPO; it was also one of the first venture firms to operate as a solo general partner and has grown into one of the largest funds run that way. Founded by Matt Cheng, who previously built two companies that each reached over $1 billion in public market value, the firm was designed from the start to invest across both the U.S. and Asia, backing early breakout companies in places like Croatia, Bangladesh, Japan, and Taiwan in addition to the U.S., with its Taipei roots still central to its identity alongside its Silicon Valley presence.
