BetterLabs

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.

Always Give Back: We operate for purpose, giving back to build a better tomorrow for future generations.

We've been founders, operators, and investors. We’ve experienced success and we’ve experienced failure but most importantly… we deeply understand the struggle of building a business from the ground up. We write the first cheque into the best early stage companies. Then we lean in to help the founders build & scale. We back people. We’re comfortable investing across all sectors and business models. And our goal is simple: To be the most valued early-stage partner for the top 1% of founders in Australia. How we invest We typically invest up to $500k in pre-seed or seed rounds. We are super collaborative and enjoy investing alongside other great investors both in Australia and around the world. We are sector agnostic but looking for the best surfers riding the biggest waves - outlier founders, building in big markets. We are early stage specialists - we focus on solving the challenges of 0–1. It’s never too early. We’re comfortable backing companies very early, often pre-revenue. Why founders work with us We are founders and we behave like founders - with passion, enthusiasm and belief. We are flexible on valuation and ownership. We think what’s best for the founder is best for us. We offer active and collaborative support focussed on the earliest stages of building a business - such as hiring, fundraising and getting to product market fit. We have a high Helpfulness to Cheque Size ratio (H:CS) We’re building a unique community of founders who want to contribute. We are an global team with a global network. We feel fortunate to be here and absolutely LOVE what we do. What we look for Outlier Founders: First and foremost, we back people. We look for outlier founders who have proven hustle, a compelling, global vision, the hunger and drive to build a billion dollar business and the capability to sell their vision to employees, partners and future investors. Differentiated Product: We look for products that are solving real and meaningful problems, with passionate first customers and that have the potential to be orders of magnitude better than their nearest competitor. This could be demonstrated through sticky initial customers, accessing an underserved market or through a compelling and non-consensus product insight. Big Markets: Our focus is sector agnostic but with a bias towards big markets that have either billions of potential customers or billions of dollars in accessible revenue capacity.

It's already tomorrow in Australia. We want to live in a nation that is ahead of the world – not only in ideas and innovation, but in our capacity to inspire, execute, and to move society forward. Ingenuity is in our blood. The cochlear implant. IVF. The Hills hoist. Australia has been home to world-changing ideas. The problem is, our pipeline is running a little dry these days. It’s by no fault of our own, however. We’re well educated, full of creativity and have no lack of entrepreneurial spirit. We’re more capable than ever. So what's the problem? Slipping through the cracks Starting up isn't the problem. Neither is getting support when you’ve already proven yourself – when profitability’s assured and market share is growing. But right in the middle is a gap no one talks about – where great ideas are stalling, and our nation is literally poorer for it. Thousands of fledgling companies are out there right now, but they’re operating without the guidance and experience of those who have come before them. Clever needs more than capital. Great ideas are nothing without execution And execution is hard. Not only does it need talent, but perspective, relationships and experience gained over years of entrepreneurial graft. It needs a support team who can recognise early potential, are bold enough to embrace it, ambitious enough to put skin in the game, and can offer a ‘been there, done that’ sense of understanding. Help when it's needed most Our first-of-its-kind Venture Development model has been designed to equip founders with the tools needed for that critical ‘in between’ stage. The time when that glow of taking the first steps starts to wear off and founders need help making it big. The future isn't something we'll stumble upon. It's something we'll design. Let's get hands-on Our world-leading model helps exciting, young businesses achieve their immense potential. We get stuck in and are the first port of call to solve the problems early-stage founders face on a daily basis. Let's build momentum Breakaway successes aren't lucky, they take perseverance and focus. Talented founders turn to us when they aren’t quite sure what the next step is. With our experience and network, we can show them the way. Let's future proof Australia We're building a knowledge economy where innovation beats out tradition, and the status quo is challenged on a daily basis. One where smart thinking and intellectual capital is what we value most.

We are a community-powered, industry agnostic VC fund investing in Australian and New Zealand based startups that have $100m+ revenue ambition. We invest at the earliest stages, once you’re ready to turn “after work” into “work”. Our investment process is imbued with a deep respect for founders’ time, intel, and courage. Founders are frequently subject to hellish, drawn-out due diligence processes, only to be unceremoniously knocked back despite their best efforts. We made a commitment to turn up for founders, and have designed a highly transparent process which adds value at every step. Our community is rallied around a shared goal: to invest in the next generation of Australia and New Zealand startups at the very earliest stage, and then support them on their long and arduous journey from improbability to outlier success. Our hivemind is our bedrock and our edge.
