A Melbourne based investor with a cash generation focus and a long term view on improving national interest through critical technology adoption.Established by Andrew Campbell, with over 15 years experience as a Chief Investment Officer and senior operator across numerous SMEs.
Invest in Australian businesses that build, use, or can sensibly adopt critical technologies in how they deliver products or services.Work with owners on a succession plan that continues the vision and builds the legacy.Operate as required, often full time during the transition period.Take a long term view on the businesses, with practical liquidity options for investors
We work with an aligned group of investors, debt providers and intermediaries.Guided by a few simple values:
aim up and build, protect trust,
take responsibility, use creative courage,
and be a grateful steward of business and capital.Behind this is an internal Intelligence Engine that tracks tens of thousands of sector signals real time and helps us build long term relationships.
We use the Australian Government sense of critical technologies: current and emerging technologies that can materially enhance or put at risk Australia’s economic prosperity, national security and social cohesion.In practice that includes fields like advanced manufacturing and materials, AI and data, advanced communications, quantum, autonomous systems and robotics, biotechnologies and clean energy technologies.
