Aura Venture Fund

Backing great Australian start-ups is in our DNA. We are a team of investors, entrepreneurs and business leaders with a passion for building businesses and we have been successful in doing so. To date, Aura Group has been an integral part of the success stories of a number of local start-ups from a variety of sectors. These include Catapult Sports (global leader in wearable analytics), Finsure (Australia's fastest growing mortgage aggregator) and InStitchu (Australia's leading online provider of tailored menswear). The Aura Investment Doctrine has been shaped through the years of experience we have in this asset class both as founders and investors. It is a widely referenced document within our firm and has become our philosophy for the Venture Capital landscape. This Doctrine outlines key criteria that must be observed when identifying new opportunities and includes engaging with a proven concept, Identification of positive thematics, Deep assessment of the business environment, Ensuring a clear path to profitability and Partnering with a strong management team. If a company does not possess all of these characteristics we simply will not invest.
