Investment thesis
FundWA invests in early-stage, commercialisation-stage companies based in or closely tied to Western Australia, backing founders with global potential and world-class skills. The fund is industry-agnostic, investing across innovative sectors such as software, health, biotech, education and energy systems, with a particular emphasis on deep tech. It invests and leads rounds at the seed stage through Series A, including potentially pre-revenue companies, and is comfortable following or co-investing. Beyond capital, it provides founder-friendly, non-controlling support including regular meetings, operational and strategic guidance across leadership, finance, legal, governance, cyber and more, plus introductions to its networks and help preparing companies for larger fundraising rounds. It emphasizes diversity and an inclusive environment.
