About us
G'day. Kia Ora.
We’re excited to meet you.
But first, here’s our pitch to you.
Airtree was born from the belief that founders could build world-class businesses from Down Under. We partner with founders to shortcut company-building firsts and unlock global success. Our network, resources and scale ensure we’re with you for every milestone that adds up to something monumental.
We believe big things start small
We invest at seed and see potential where others don’t. We believe in your vision for your company’s future, not as it exists today. At times, that requires a leap of faith into the unknown. But we’ve done this many times before, and it’s earned us the privilege of working with over 100 of the fastest-growing and category-defining tech companies in Australia and New Zealand.
We think in decades, not days
To our founders, the road to building an iconic company is lengthy, and we’ll walk it with you. To our LPs, we’ve built our track record by being trusted, transparent and disciplined custodians of capital across market cycles.
We share Antipodean ingenuity with the world
Our region is producing world-class startups at an accelerating rate. It’s a positive force for job creation, the economy and social change. We build free programs, resources and communities to add momentum to the flywheel.
Network and Connection
Join a network of founders, operators and angel investors who know what it’s like to start and scale something from scratch. Connect with your peers at our founder dinners, exec forums, and annual CEO and LP Summits.
Playbooks and resources
We dedicate extraordinary resources to shortcutting company-building firsts—from your first hire or advisor, to your ESOP structure and Parental Leave Policy. We help founders keep tabs on how they’re tracking against peers with financial and fundraising benchmark reports.
Impact and change
We put impact into action by sharing our DEI dashboard data, a starter guide to ESG, and building diverse communities through our Explorer and Pioneer programs. We believe There’s more to life—even in the busy world of startups—and a founder’s mental health and family matter a lot.
