Australian VC-Backed Startups

Every company an Australian venture fund has backed since 2025, as the funds list them on their own sites: Antler Australia (27), AirTree (16), Blackbird (14), Investible (13), Square Peg (7), Main Sequence (7) and OIF Ventures (5). Most are early-stage; a few, like Airwallex and Legora, are later rounds the fund joined. Most recent first, each tile in the company's own colour where its site declares one. Main Sequence names its investments only in its blog, so its count is a lower bound, and Co Ventures publishes no dates at all. The roles these funds' portfolio companies are hiring for are on the Australian jobs page →
