Investment thesis
Purpose Ventures is an industry-agnostic venture capital fund based in Perth, Western Australia, investing from Pre-Seed to Series B in purpose-driven founders building companies with global impact. Drawing on a team of former founders with a track record of establishing, scaling and exiting companies, the firm emphasizes a relational, supportive partnership with founders. It prioritizes strong founders (character, competency, chemistry), large and defensible markets with global ambition, and innovative solutions to real problems validated by paying customers. While rooted in Western Australia and interested in local economic impact, it seeks businesses capable of making a broader difference in the world.
