Southern Cross Venture Partners

Southern Cross Venture Partners is a venture capital firm that invests in early growth-stage technology companies. Its stated mandate is to back entrepreneurs building businesses with global potential and market leadership, and to provide more than capital - including cross-border operating expertise - alongside the investment. The firm publishes investment history across Australia and the United States, with office and contact locations in Australia and Palo Alto, California.

Published sector focus spans several technical domains: wireless semiconductors; industrial and Internet of Things security; energy storage; renewable energy; and mobile workforce tools. These sit across technology and energy and resources verticals, a mix that combines semiconductor and security infrastructure with applied energy hardware. Stage is specified as early growth; check size and fund structure are not disclosed in the material available.

Geography is central to the firm's positioning. With presence on both sides of the Pacific, Southern Cross Venture Partners operates as a cross-border investor, supporting portfolio companies in scaling between Australian and US markets. The firm describes its support model as entrepreneur-focused, aiming to help build companies with global success potential rather than providing capital alone.
