The problem

Access to VC is Restricted

High Minimums
Minimums that shut most people out

Large commitments per fund and vintage make direct VC impractical for most investors.

Limited Access to Top Managers
Top managers often invitation-only

Leading established and emerging VC managers are often invitation-only, with capacity reserved for existing institutional LPs.

Concentration & Complexity
Building a VC portfolio is complex

Building a diversified VC portfolio across managers, stages, sectors and vintages requires institutional scale and relationships.

Retail Investors Locked Out
Retail investor restrictions

Retail investors are almost entirely excluded from VC due to structural and regulatory settings.

VC is attractive  but
Access, scale and complexity are significant barriers.
Investment Objective

Introducing Australia's First Venture Capital Fund of Funds giving every investor access to venture capital as an asset class

Long-term capital growth through diversified VC exposure.
The Fund aims to deliver returns by investing in a curated portfolio of established and emerging venture capital managers, enhanced by co-investment and venture-debt opportunities.

Why

Fund of Funds removes many barriers to venture capital

Building a diversified VC portfolio usually requires large minimums, strong networks, and multiple commitments across time. The Fund of Funds model is designed to make that easier by pooling capital and allocating across managers and vintages.

Access

We've eliminated the high minimums that kept venture capital exclusive to institutions and open venture capital as an asset class.

Diversification

Single entry point to a multi-manager, multi-stage, multi-sector, multi-geography VC portfolio.

Global Reach

We partner with top-performing and emerging managers across Australia, Asia-Pacific, and global markets.

Oversight

Disciplined manager selection, Investment Committee oversight and institutional compliance infrastructure.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What is a Fund of Funds?

A Fund of Funds pools capital into multiple venture capital funds rather than individual startups. It offers instant diversification, professional oversight, and access to top-tier and emerging VC managers. A fund of funds is sometimes compared to an index fund in the sense that it provides diversified exposure through a single investment.

Who can invest?

Retail investors can invest, starting from $2,000 via the FB Ventures Fund VC Fund of Fund Class R (ARSN 680 942 670) (APIR BCL7511AU). Before investing please read the product disclosure statement and target market determination to ensure that this product is right for you.

Wholesale and institutional investors can invest, starting from $10,000 via the FB Ventures Wholesale VC Fund of Funds (APIR BCL6863AU)

How is this different from direct startup investing?

Investing directly in startups requires time, access, and deep expertise. The Fund of Funds simplifies this by investing in multiple VC funds, each backing dozens of startups. You benefit from professional fund selection and diversified exposure rather than depending on one company's success.

What are the main benefits?

You get diversification across managers, sectors, stages, and regions. You gain access to sought-after VC funds often closed to individuals. Professional management and governance handle the complexity for you.

What risks should I understand?

All investments carry risks. Please see the Risks outlined in the Product Disclosure Statement for the Retail Rund and Information Memorandum for the Wholesale Fund
These risks may materially affect the financial performance of the Fund.

Past performance is no guarantee of future performance.

Who is the Fund designed for?

Investors who want long-term exposure to venture capital and can tolerate higher risk and illiquidity.

Retail investors should read the Target Market Determination for the FB Ventures Fund VC Fund of Fund Class R (ARSN 680 942 670) to determine if the product is suitable for them.

Who is Qualified Investor?

A Qualified (Wholesale) Investor is generally someone who meets the Australian “wholesale investor” tests under the Corporations Act - typically by providing an accountant’s certificate confirming $2.5m+ net assets or $250k+ gross income in each of the past two financial years, or by making a $500k+ investment in a financial product.

Everyone else is classified as a Retail Investor and must read the PDS and TMD before investing.

Can I withdraw my money on demand?

You should not expect to be able to withdraw your investment on demand.

This product is not suitable for investors requiring regular or predictable Liquidity. The Fund should be regarded as an illiquid investment, particularly during the initial years of operation. Liquidity is expected to be very limited at the outset given the long-
term nature of the underlying venture capital investments. Please read more about the Fund's liquidity in the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS).
