Thesis
We invest in startups operating in Australia, New Zealand, South East Asia, and China. Artesian trusts in math, not magic. We recognize there are multiple paths to startup success. Capital-lite startups exiting to corporates at <$250M are as important to our investment strategy as $1B+ unicorns targeting world domination. Artesian invests in software and hardware startups with an overweight exposure (~50% of total FUM) in 4 key sectors: Agrifood, Clean Energy, MedTech, and AI/Robotics. We also provide our Venture Capital as a Service platform to corporations, industry groups, family offices, and government organizations. Although Artesian is the region’s most active early-stage VC investor (>500 startup investments), we are equally active in late-stage VC investments as any of our traditional VC peers.
