TASMAN VENTURES - We focus on companies and entrepreneurs who have big ideas and want to create transformative consumer experiences through the power of the internet. Investments are typically made at early stages (seed, round A or B) and involve capital placements of $50,000-$500,000. In addition, we typically play an active advisory role for these companies – offering advice and mentorship to help maximize their chance for success.

We also assist innovative, overseas web companies that want to establish a presence in Australia/NZ. By understanding the local market and injecting our own capital, we can accelerate the growth of the business in this region to attain market leadership.
