Investment thesis
Stoic backs scientists and engineers commercialising research from leading Australian universities, aiming to turn breakthrough science into commercially viable, high-velocity technologies. It focuses on three areas: human health (products advancing standard of care), advanced computing (next-generation processing and computational systems), and the physical world (addressing environmental challenges). The firm typically enters after a startup has demonstrated proof of concept of its research, writing first cheques from roughly A$100K to A$1M. Partnered with Uniseed since 2019, it offers founders direct access to investors, operators and academics, drawing on decades of commercialisation experience and connections across ten of Australia's top research institutions.
