Carthona Capital is a hands-on, proactive, and thematic venture capital investor based in Sydney, Australia that invests globally.Carthona Capital was founded in 2014 when a group of like-minded venture investors came together to invest on a deal-by-deal basis. In 2017, Carthona Capital shifted to a more traditional venture capital model by raising its first fund from a mix of Institutional (Superannuation), Family Office and High Net-worth investors.Carthona Capital likes to invest very early - their initial investment into a business is usually at the Pre-Seed, Seed, or Series A stages. Carthona then likes to follow-on strongly and continue to deploy larger amounts of capital as the business matures, and in one instance supporting a business by participating in seven different independent financing rounds.
