why investors choose rampersand

  • BUILD RELATIONSHIPS, NOT JUST PORTFOLIOS

    Our job is to deliver outstanding returns, and we are proud of our top-quartile performance. But what sets us apart is how we do it.

    We believe enduring relationships are built on trust, connection and alignment. For over a decade, we have fostered engagement through open and transparent communications, engagement between investors, founders and our team, and a structure that ensures we are focused on returns rather than passive fees.

    Cycles may change, but we remain committed to the principles of high performance and accountability.

  • STRUCTURED FOR ALIGNMENT

    Rampersand funds are structured and sized to maximise alignment between our investors, the founders we back, and our own interests. This means thoughtfully sized funds that allow for robust portfolio construction to manage risks and the highest chances of money-on-money returns, as well as a size of portfolio that we can actively manage and support.

    We call that keeping our promises.

  • BACKING THE BEST AND BOLDEST

    In a competitive market, winning access to the best opportunities is critical. And it takes more than just being fast. Australian founders are increasingly savvy and sophisticated, looking for investors who genuinely boost their chance of success and are truly aligned with their best interests.

    After a decade of keeping promises, Rampersand has one of the most compelling investment platforms for founders:

    • Experienced, unicorn team

    • High-conviction portfolio

    • Sales lead generation

    • Mentorship and coaching

    • Support across tech, product, sales and growth, people, capital/finance and international expansion

    • Connected network of advisors, follow-on investors, customers, employees, service providers

  • VALUE-ADD BEYOND RETURNS

    As a long-term asset class, we believe it’s critical to deliver value throughout the life of the fund, not just the big cheques we send back. Our LP platform is built for sophisticated individuals through to institutional investors, and includes:

    • Networking events for LPs, founders and network partners

    • Follow-on investment access (there has been nearly $9 of follow-on for every dollar invested in our initial round)

    • Next Gen programs: students (18-21) and young family office leads (30's & 40's)

    • Industry insights: access to technologies that can impact operating businesses and investment portfolios

    • Quarterly reporting and company-by-company breakdowns

“The digital ecosystem has given me a great career here in Aus, and I love supporting the next generation of companies that Rampersand uncovers. I appreciate receiving detailed and transparent updates from my Rampersand fund; they highlight how personal and focused their investments are. I especially enjoy attending the connected network events where I can meet the founders and learn how to get involved. Tax-efficient investment is an excellent bonus.”
