🌏🇦🇺 NEW: Australia is #1 in the world for unicorns per VC $ invested - 1.22 unicorns per $1B to be exact.
It’s not just building startups, it’s doing it more efficiently than anyone else.
New report with @AWSstartups + @SidestageVC shows:
📊 #5 globally for decacorns
🚀 #2 fastest-growing VC ecosystem since 2020
💸 Still under-capitalised = major investor opportunity
🧠 World-class talent, global-first founders, reinvested operators
The next wave is already being built 🇦🇺

Great to participate on a technology panel at @sxswsydney with @bengrabiner of @SidestageVC & @Silva, a former Senior Policy Adviser to former UK PM David Cameron. A vigorous discussion about policy settings, incentives & the role of governments to encourage innovation.
We’re thrilled to announce our plans to join forces with @Canva, which will supercharge the speed & scale that we’re building https://t.co/LlErGl3jwe. 🚀
Looking forward to chatting with @Linktree_’s awesome CTO @veryfarnaz about her journey & building high performing tech orgs.
We have a few more spots for Tech founders & CTO’s at @SidestageVC’s Tech Meetup in Melbourne on Thursday ⬇️

Australia needs a greater diversity of exceptional early stage minds investing and a big congrats to @mkahlbetzer@bengrabiner and team @SidestageVC on your first close 💫
More great news for Aussie founders. Early stage capital from great minds and even better people. @bengrabiner is a jet, and @mkahlbetzer has been around since before Aussie VC was a thing
That is why we're building SSV Fund I - a founder-led seed fund & community to back the top 1% of founders in Australia 🇦🇺. The fund we wish we had when we were starting out.
This is Day 0. We're just getting started 🚀
