Capital for the next wave of technology and edu‑tech.

Startup Capital is a privately owned company investing in the technology and edu-tech sectors in Australia and internationally.

The firm

Managed by people who have led in both the lecture theatre and the boardroom.

Startup Capital is managed by distinguished senior academic and corporate leaders with decades of industry experience and expertise.

That combination matters in edu-tech: we understand how education institutions actually work — their governance, quality frameworks and funding models — and how technology businesses grow, from first revenue through to exit.

Where we invest

Two sectors. One thesis: durable margins, predictable cashflow.

Sector 01

Technology

Established and emerging technology businesses in Australia and internationally, with the fundamentals to benefit from sector consolidation.

Sector 02

Edu-tech & education

Businesses serving the education sector — a market our leadership knows first-hand, from inside institutions as well as from the investor's side of the table.

The opportunity

The Australian technology and edu-tech sectors are set to be the subject of a wave of consolidation led by private equity looking to tap into high margins and predictable cashflow.

— As reported in the Australian Financial Review

Consolidation rewards those positioned early. Whether you are a founder considering your options or an investor looking for exposure to the sector, we would welcome a conversation.
