Australia’s startup ecosystem is booming and building a stronger future for us all. From fintechs to climate tech, Australian founders are building the next generation of global companies. According to a recent report from Side Stage Ventures, AWS, and Dealroom, Australia has the highest number of unicorns per dollar invested anywhere in the world.

‍

Until now, most Australians have been locked out of investing across the innovation landscape. Venture Capital has been the domain of institutions, ultra-wealthy investors, and insiders. But that’s about to change!

‍

At FB Ventures, we are proud to introduce Australia’s first VC Fund of Funds available to both wholesale and retail investors. Through FB Ventures, investors can now access and own a piece of Australia’s startup future.

‍

Why Venture Capital Matters

Venture Capital fuels innovation. It backs bold founders tackling big problems, creating jobs, and driving economic growth. Companies like Canva, Atlassian, and SafetyCulture have scaled to become global success stories, all with VC support.

‍

For sophisticated investors, VC offers:

- High growth potential by backing companies before they become household names.

- Portfolio diversification through exposure to innovation not tied to public markets.

- Shape the future of work, health, and sustainability through supporting innovators early in their journey.

‍

But for many investors, there’s a catch! Access. Traditionally, investors have had two paths to invest in startups:

- Direct startup investing as an Angel is inherently high risk, high reward, with many companies failing along the way. To diversify properly requires dozens of bets, along with significant time, money, and network access.

- Some investors can pool capital alongside others under professionally managed funds. Investing in a VC fund remains high risk and heavily reliant on fund manager skill. Large minimum cheques and closed wholesale networks keep most investors on the sidelines.

‍

For many Australian investors, the limitations of existing avenues have kept them on the sidelines. Recognising this gap, FB Ventures co-founders Anna Nedbaylova and Richard Mulligan set out to introduce a proven fund structure for VC access that has long served venture capital markets in the US and Europe.

Introducing Australia’s first VC Fund of Funds open to retail and wholesale investors!

‍

A VC Fund of Funds changes the game for all investors, as well as the Australian startup ecosystem. Instead of backing a single startup or a single VC fund, investors gain exposure to multiple venture funds, each of which invests in many startups. While global venture markets have benefited from this model, this is the first VC investment strategy in the Australian market that offers:

✅ Diversification across managers, funds, and hundreds of companies.


✅ Reduced concentration risk if one startup or fund underperforms.


✅ Access to top-tier VC funds often closed to individuals.


✅ Efficiency turns one investment into broad exposure.

‍

For many self-directed investors who have been seeking an accessible entry point into Australia’s venture capital market, the FB Ventures VC Fund of Funds is a breakthrough. It is important to carefully consider the Product Disclosure Statement for the Fund and understanding all fees and risks before making any decision about whether to invest.
