about venture capital

Innovate SA Venture Capital aims to create an active, growing and sustainable private equity sector in South Australia.

Our strategy is to: 

• Increase the amount of private equity funds  and angel investors within the state.
• Educate companies about what they need to attract investment and increase the quality of the deal flow.
• Bring investors and investees together.

One of the ways in which companies can grow is through the injection of capital from private investors.  In South Australia, as in all growing economies, private equity is an increasingly important method of injecting funds into businesses so they can grow quicker and produce higher returns than otherwise would be possible.

The Innovate SA Venture Capital Programs help those South Australian businesses who would benefit from private equity investment maximise their opportunities to attract and secure investor interest.

Becoming ready to attract investors isn’t easy—it requires a clear understanding of your company, its vision and competitive advantages, and the information potential investors will need before they invest capital.

Surveys indicate that as many as 70 percent of applications for investment are rejected because those seeking capital don’t understand investor’s requirements. Innovate SA provide the essential tools for you to examine your business as investors will, then present it as an appealing package.

External investment can come from a variety of sources depending on your business, including private equity fund managers, venture capitalists or business angels.
