Are you a South Australian Startup looking for investment?

The State Government is contributing $50 million to establish a new South Australian Early-Stage Venture Capital Fund (SAVCF) to help build dynamic and innovative early-stage companies to accelerate their growth to a national and global scale. 

Investment opportunities will be assessed on a case-by-case basis, into companies that can demonstrate a large addressable market for their product or service and ability to meet an existing or emerging market need and to scale rapidly in a capital efficient way. 

For a limited time, a portion of the SAVC Fund is available for Seed stage investments of up to $400,000 per company. 

The Fund is looking to invest in high growth and export potential companies that have at least demonstrated a market for their product or service and have either commenced generating revenue or can demonstrate customer validation and evidence a path to monetisation.

  • B2B Software

  • Space
