At Sprint, we’re deeply committed to building a better future.
As investors, we have the ability to truly support our future leaders and organisations - and through their economic, social and environmental contributions, shape the world we live in.
Sprint is an early stage venture capital firm based in Brisbane. We invest in the game changing global ideas and from inception we have prioritised:
- Investing in extraordinary ideas with clear environmental, social and governance value
- Placed Founders First
- Supported Founders with essential capital: financial, human, intellectual, infrastructure and social capital.
From our venture studio and head office, our team invests in the extraordinary founders and their ideas. We partner with the businesses that are true game changes, possess incredible culture and have the desire to swim upstream.
For each company in our portfolio Sprint partners with Founders where they need us most: as an internal entrepreneur in residence, providing deep dives, analysis and detailed advice, often as Board members. Find out more about how we work with investors and founders
Our Core Values
Our investments are based on core values that underpin everything we do. From the first founder meeting, during strategic and operational decisions through to successful exits, we roll up our sleeves and help, always living by our core values.
- Founders First: Our founders underpin our core investment thesis. We’ll help them any way we can, no matter the circumstance with financial, social and human capital.
- Trusted Advisors: We are trusted advisors that mentor startups before, during and after an investment round. We use our team to drive growth, fix problems and achieve success.
- Always Give Back: We operate for purpose, giving back to build a better tomorrow for future generations.
- Community Is Key: We see ourselves as part of the investment & startup community and not a competitor. We’ll do what we can to help, educate and grow Brisbane’s and Australia’s investment ecosystem.

- Social Capital: We help make connections between Founders, industry and our partners based on fit, culture and alignment.

- Financial Capital: The financial capital you need to grow your business.
