Make an Impact
Meraki Venture Capital is a seed-stage VC helping founders build capabilities for long term success
We operate across the Australian and Indian startup ecosystems, helping our portfolio companies tap into both markets for funding and market entry opportunities. We’re a team of founders and global operators with an on-ground market presence, working actively with industry forums, accelerators, and incubators to help create strong local startup communities.
Our Values drive us to create Winning Partnerships
Trust in the Force Multiplier
One can go alone, but with strong ecosystem partners in the network, each bringing their best to the game, not only does it help bring about great outcomes but is heaps more fun too. We believe our job is to create those dots and let them organically connect!
Challenging the Status Quo
We believe in asking the right questions of ourselves, our partners, and our portfolio companies, with an open mind. To continue a growth journey, it is crucial to embrace all learning and feedback and be able to pivot if required. Being committed to the destination and being flexible in how you reach their marks strong leadership.
Creating Sustainable High Growth Business Models
Keeping capital efficiency at the core of strategy and decision right from the conception stage is important. We value long-term, sustainable advantage creation over here-and-now quick hype cycles. We believe we like to set the bar high for ourselves, pursue excellence in all we do, and then go all out with energy and passion to achieve it.
Investing in a long-term true partnership model
It is daunting to build a new business. Having a long partner standing steadfast through highs and lows is a winning advantage. Once committed, we are there firefighting with you through the difficult and challenging phases, be it getting a debt round organised to support the funding strategy or reviewing customer pitches, we are there all the way with you, for you.
Being fair and ethical
Creating long-term relationships based on mutual trust and respect for each other is the cornerstone of our work. We bring in respect, fair equity, and kindness in all that we do and engage in.
Meet Our Team
As a group, we’ve had the privilege of working with each other over many years. We have advised founders and corporate leaders on their most critical issues and opportunities to help them build successful ventures around the world. At Meraki Venture Capital, we are all there to support you.
