Artesian is Australia's largest and most active seed stage venture capital firm with A$350 million FUM and more than 275 portfolio companies across Australia and China. In Australia, Artesian leads the field by a massive margin, having made a total of 225 investments. This is due to its unique, early-stage approach which sees it invest small amounts ($50,000 to $100,000) in numerous early-stage companies, often through partnerships with accelerators and incubators.
Artesian Venture Partners has partnered with the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) to launch GrainInnovate, a $50 million fund aimed at agtech startups.
Hostplus has announced a $85 million commitment to Artesian's seed and later stage Australian VC funds, and will partner on investments in China.
Artesian employs a unique, scalable approach to early stage VC, a platform model which provides a pre-screened funnel from which it subsequently makes concentrated later stage investments.
