About

Auctus Capital focuses on micro investments in pre-seed financing rounds. We add value through the expertise we can provide an early-stage startup looking to build traction, and in engaging our extensive personal networks, rather than the size of our investment. Auctus Capital was founded in 2014 by a group of young professionals across Sydney, Melbourne, London and New York all with a clear vision of investing in the most promising early-stage startups. We back passionate people who have innovative solutions to big problems. We will assess every opportunity on its merits; our varied experience means we are not limited to any one sector.
