We invest in, support and build wonderful Australian businesses
Common Sense Ventures is an Australian family office backing early-stage, fast-growing businesses. We partner with ambitious managers looking to solve problems that will help the world.
We work with founders to simplify the early-stage investment process
As past entrepreneurs, we have gone through the often painful process of growing a business and needing to raise capital, negotiating employee options, and navigating the sale of a business. We support founders through these stages with simple, clear language and fair terms.
Beyond investment, we know the support that entrepreneurs need is varied and unique to every venture. We provide tangible support for businesses before, during and after fundraising.
