Galileo Ventures
Australia-based pre-seed and seed venture capital firm backing technical founders building globally ambitious companies in AI, software, hardware, robotics, deeptech and climate.
Galileo Ventures is an Australia-based venture capital firm investing at pre-seed and seed stage. The firm backs technical founders building globally ambitious technology companies, with a stated focus on backing teams before their ideas are obvious to the wider market. Investment activity spans AI, software, hardware, robotics, enterprise software, deeptech, critical technologies and climate technology.
The firm is run by three partners. Founders pitch directly to one of them rather than to a committee, and receive a clear decision - the firm emphasises a fast, direct response over extended process. In assessing teams, Galileo looks for founders with earned insight into a problem, the capability to build quickly, and a global outlook. Its approach is described as hands-on and operator-led.
Post-investment support covers partner working sessions, go-to-market planning, recruiting, communications and follow-on fundraising, alongside access to an active founder community and network. The firm describes itself as Australia-first while supporting companies with global ambitions, and has a presence in Sydney, Melbourne and San Francisco.
