Prisma Investment
Prisma Investment is an early stage investment firm focused on direct investment into companies working to improve or disrupt public services and indirect investment into other technology-related startups. Prisma works with venture partners including Blackbird Ventures and OneVentures who typically undertake the first round of filtering. As each Venture Partner fund accelerates its own follow-on investment, in certain select circumstances Prisma may choose to significantly concentrate investment. In exceptional circumstances - and solely within early stage companies targeting public sector disruption or public discussion - we will act as the lead funder. Prisma is the investment vehicle of Luca Belgiorno-Nettis, a member of the well known family that founded Transfield Services.
