Activ8 Capital Investors is an early stage investor, with a focus on growth companies in the technology, education, fin-tech, consumer products and general industrial sectors. 

Activ8 Capital Investors partners with businesses which are ready to commercialise a product or service, or already have their product in the market. We prefer companies with existing customers, revenue and management teams, but with a requirement for growth capital and/or active strategic advice.  We look for businesses with great leadership teams and a clear pathway to commercialisation and revenue.

Activ8 Capital Investors invests in private businesses, pre-IPO and publicly listed companies, with typical investment time horizon of 3-5 years and investment size of $25k to $500k.  We prefer to co-invest with other professional investors in early rounds and can offer introductions to a wide network of investors.

We are active managers with a vast array of experience across a number of sectors & geographic regions and therefore can offer support to our investee businesses throughout the growth cycle of the business.

Business stages we specialise in

• Venture rounds – early stages and growth capital

  • Early stage companies that have a competitive advantage and where our skills can be leveraged

  • Financially constrained, working capital requirements

  • Product developed but requiring distribution, existing distribution channel but with product gaps

  • Management team requiring support, lacking capital markets experience or contacts

• Expansion capital

  • Commercialisation phase in need of execution funding, skills or connections

• Pre-IPO / IPO

  • Companies on a path to an IPO within a 6-18 month time frame (pre rounds and IPO)

  • Strategic acquisition funding or cornerstone positions
