About
Backing visionary founders solving the world’s most pressing problems
We believe
Visionary founders will reimagine industries and create transformational change across health, climate and people.
Our biggest social and environmental problems present the greatest opportunities.
Investment and impact go hand in hand.
It started with a belief — that business can be a force for positive change.
In 2016, we launched Giant Leap as Australia’s first venture capital fund dedicated to impact, built on the conviction that investing in world-changing ideas isn’t just possible, but vital.
We set out to back founders tackling humanity’s most pressing problems, demonstrating that purpose and profit can thrive together.
From climate solutions to health breakthroughs and inclusive technology, we continue to champion bold entrepreneurs who are shaping the future.
We believe our biggest social and environmental problems present the greatest opportunities for the next generation of high-performing, sustainable businesses. Because the best businesses don’t just expand. They leave a lasting, meaningful impact.
"As an investor, Giant Leap has opened countless doors to customers, mentors, and other investors. They have given me really practical advice from everything about shaping ESOPs, to founder wellbeing or recruitment strategy. They're responsive, and give me the right mix of space and support. It's been a pleasure to be in the portfolio."
"The team at Giant Leap have shown great faith not only in our ability to have the impact we envision having, but to learn how to get there along the way. They are an extremely sharp and effective team and their support uplifts the overall capability of our business. They are an extremely lovely group of people we are grateful to be in partnership with!"
"Giant Leap were one of the earliest investors in Amber, and they've been incredible supporters over the journey. They are truly mission driven investors, and for a mission-driven company like ours that alignment really gives you clarity of vision."
“Giant Leap has had our backs the whole way - not just with business support but with genuine emotional support too. They’ve made incredible intros, including those that helped raise the majority of our Series A. Couldn’t ask for a better partner.”
