Quartet Ventures

Overview Quartet Ventures is a specialized Venture Capital firm based in Sydney, Australia. We take a very different approach in deciding which businesses and people we back and support. We have experience in building successful businesses and know what it takes to get there. For us, it's all about great people, disruptive ideas, and brilliant execution. We back people who are hungry and are happy to share in success. We don't invest in start-ups, we always invest for the long term. We don't own 100% of the businesses in which we invest - we co-invest and want our partners to think and feel about the businesses the way do. Our partners are the fourth element of the Quartet. We are willing to take considered risks and are not faint of heart. When the going gets tough, that's usually when we see an opportunity to invest more. We back those who are keen to disrupt the status quo, those willing to take on industry leaders, and those with tenacity and a capacity to think out of the box. Similarly, we ensure that our interests are aligned with our partners' interests. We like to back partners who are willing to back themselves. Typically, we invest in enterprises with: - proprietary knowledge, technology, or processes - current or near-term EBITDA between $1.0 million and $10 million - an opportunity to disrupt an existing market - sustainable, profitable, and growing cash flows - clear and unique competitive advantages - a need for additional capital and expertise to accelerate growth Unless we can see a clear opportunity for us to add value, we don't invest in: - mature businesses - early stage and non-profitable enterprises - low growth industries or market segments - mining/resources - property or construction ventures We support execution and strategy by leveraging our past experiences and via active board participation.
