About

Backing mission-driven founders solving the world’s most pressing problems

We believe

Visionary founders will reimagine industries and create transformational change across health, climate and people.

Our biggest social and environmental problems present the greatest opportunities.

Investment and impact go hand in hand.

It started with a belief — that business can be a force for positive change.

In 2016, we launched Giant Leap as Australia’s first venture capital fund dedicated to impact, built on the conviction that investing in world-changing ideas isn’t just possible, but vital.

We set out to back founders tackling humanity’s most pressing problems, demonstrating that purpose and profit can thrive together.

From climate solutions to health breakthroughs and inclusive technology, we continue to champion bold entrepreneurs who are shaping the future.

We believe our biggest social and environmental problems present the greatest opportunities for the next generation of high-performing, sustainable businesses. Because the best businesses don’t just expand. They leave a lasting, meaningful impact.
