A risk adjusted approach to generating outsized returns for investors
Eastend Ventures is a values-driven firm that specialises in early and growth-stage companies from South Australia, Queensland, and Western Australia. We maintain superior deal flow and are dedicated to building a portfolio of high-growth potential companies for the benefit of our investors.
Investors in Australian venture funds are typically over-exposed to Sydney and Melbourne startups, and under-weight companies from ‘beyond the Blue Mountains’. Companies from our markets are resilient, capital efficient, developing world-class innovations, and offer more realistic investment terms.
