Investment thesis
NextGen Ventures aims to be the first backer of young, ambitious Australian founders — particularly students — before other investors. The firm provides first cheques and hands-on support across the startup journey, helping with fundraising, early hiring, and access to world-class mentors. It positions itself as a partner available around the clock, betting that the next major startup could emerge from a university campus. NextGen also researches and advocates for the student founder ecosystem, publishing a Student Startup Funding Report to highlight the untapped growth potential of young founders and to encourage Australia to retain and nurture early-stage talent.
