Cross the Chasm
Engineered for lift. Built for founder flight.
We back Aussie AI and Tech founders in “the messy middle”; helping you grow your product from your first few customers to your first thousand. With flexible deal terms and engagement models where you’re always in control.
We’re not your typical advisory or investor; and that’s the point
You’ve proven the concept. You got traction. You got some customers. Revenue is real. But traditional investment doesn’t quite fit yet, and incubators only got you so far.
That messy in-between stage? That’s our sweet spot.
The gap between "we’ve launched" and "we’re a systemised business ready for capital" is where a lot of great tech startups stall. Like a glider built for lift, we’re built to help founders make the leap from early traction to scalable growth without unnecessary weight, dilution, or distraction.
Rolling up our sleeves, we help founders glide over the gap and keep climbing, backing AI and software founders who want to scale on their own terms.
Founder-first, always
This is your company. Your product. Your vision.
You’re the founder who took the risk and jumped off the cliff with your product, we’re just the wind who carry you to the next stage.
We don’t hand over a term sheet and disappear, we don’t take control, and we’re not here to turn your company into something it’s not. We’re here to help you harness forces like timing, market shifts, operational efficiency to keep you moving with lift, not drag.
Our flexible engagement models include tradtional strategic consulting engagements, capital or “sweatequity” and every deal is unique.
When it’s not perfect, that’s where we come in.
We’re not here to fit you into our model. We’re here to back you with the capital, strategy, and support that fits your stage, your goals, and your vision.
Founder-led growth
without dilution
We help scale you; not just your headcount or spend. Keep control, keep equity, keep building your way.
Multiple options for support however you need.
We can get our hands dirty, we can offer strategic input, capital or all of the above, on flexible custom terms.
Profitability & risk
intelligence from day one
We make sure you’re scalable, secure, and margin-healthy right from the start so you’re built for the long haul, not patching holes mid-flight. If things are already looking shaky - we can help with that too.
We don’t just bring capital and advice, we bring a network. That includes seasoned operators, growth leaders, product minds, legal and finance pros, and more. Together we’ll help you harness momentum, catch the right wind, and make smart moves at the right time.
Entrepreneurship can be a lonely journey but with us you’ll never grow alone.
