Membership
The Trampoline effect.
The right network amplifies deal access and returns beyond what any one investor reaches alone. Deals surface through the networks of 250+ members, cheques pool to clear minimums you could not meet solo, and diligence is shared so more eyes catch more.
Exclusive deal flow
Founders reach us through members, portfolio companies and partners, so we see opportunities no single investor would. The best are curated with memos and diligence before they go anywhere else.
Collective weight
Cheques pool through one SPV per deal, clearing minimums an individual could not reach alone.
Shared diligence
Members who know the sector dig in together. More eyes, fewer blind spots.
A network that answers
Events, education, introductions, and follow-on as companies grow.
The approach
Deal by deal, in good company.
You never commit to a fund. Each deal is offered on its own, and you decide every time whether it is for you.
Sourced & screened
Deals come through the network, then get pressure-tested by an Investment Committee against a clear 2026 thesis before members ever see them.
Community due diligence
Members with real domain expertise dig in together, pulling in specialists and anyone likely to invest.
One trust per deal
Each deal runs through its own Australian unit trust with a corporate trustee. You commit what suits you, and your holding sits cleanly in one place.
Backing that lasts
Introductions, follow-on capital, and people who pick up the phone between rounds, from first cheque through Series A.
Why we invest
We back ambitious founders building high-growth companies that create meaningful positive impact, to reshape the status quo.
AI-native category owners
Founders with deep domain conviction using AI to fix under-digitised industries, widen access and give people back their time.
Commercialisation-ready deep tech
Hardware, robotics, health, climate and energy with a real path to market inside two years, and a real-world outcome at the end of it.
Capital-efficient growth
Durable, near-profitable businesses that create jobs, own their niche, and return capital that funds the next wave of founders.
The portfolio
Companies our members have backed.
Sixteen companies and counting, from aged-care robotics to carbon accounting. Each will get its own page on the live site.
On the House
On the House logo to follow.
In their words draft, pending sign-off
Trampoline brought thirty investors into our round who actually knew our market. Two of them are on speed-dial now.
It is the only syndicate where the due-diligence thread is better reading than most VC memos I have seen.
Free to pitch, quick to a yes, and the cheque arrived with a rolodex attached.
For founders
More than a cheque.
We invest for impact across three areas. If you are close to one of them, we want to see it. Free to pitch, and you will hear back either way.
AI-native category owners
Pre-Seed to Series A. Founders with deep domain conviction, predominantly Australia and New Zealand and now the US and Europe, building AI-first companies to own a category.
Commercialisation-ready deep tech
Seed to Series A. A clear path to market inside 18 to 24 months across robotics, hardware, health, climate and energy. Not science projects.
Capital-efficient growth
Revenue-generating scale-ups above $1M ARR with a strong niche and a realistic path to a 3x-plus multiple.
