Side Stage Ventures

Side Stage Ventures is a founder-led seed fund that backs the most ambitious Australian 🇦🇺 founders. We write small cheques to the best early-stage companies. Then we lean in to help the founders build & scale. We’ve been investing together, as a syndicate, alongside a community of 100+ founders and operators and now we’re building the seed fund that we wish we had when we were starting out. We've been founders (Linktree, Platoon, BrickX, Unified Music), operators (Apple, Amazon), and investors (Mr. Yum, GO1, Airtasker). We've experienced success and we've experienced failure but most importantly... we truly understand [the struggle](https://fs.blog/ben-horowitz-the-struggle/) in building a business from the ground up.
