Exto Partners is a diversified private investment firm. We invest in and work with both emerging and established companies to achieve their potential. Exto Partners specialises in providing both expansion and venture capital. We have a portfolio of investments across a broad range of industries, including: education, industrial safety, retail, health, clean tech, mining services and online marketplaces. Unlike other private equity and venture capital firms, we do not subscribe to the theory of focusing on total portfolio returns. We do not assume some investments will fail and hope the poor performance will be outweighed by one or two big successes. Exto Partners concentrates on building core value in each of its portfolio companies rather than relying on financial engineering. We establish innovative, sustainable and high growth business strategies and invest heavily in both people and systems to enable each company to successfully execute on the strategy. We invest in private Australian companies and take a medium term view on business performance. We take meaningful equity positions (30%+) and deliver hands on collaborative engagement with founders, boards and management.

We're a leading Australian venture capital firm that champions exceptional founders, driven by purpose, who add material value to their customers, markets, and communities. We invest in early stage companies with innovative, high-growth and disruptive technologies and have deep conviction in the power of technology founders and give our all to make them succeed.

Archer Capital specialises in mid-market leveraged buyouts and is currently investing Archer Capital Fund 5. Archer Capital Fund 5 seeks mid-market LBO opportunities in Australia and New Zealand, favouring businesses with the opportunity to invest $75 million of equity or higher. Archer Capital considers an active partnership with management throughout the lifecycle of an investment as an essential foundation for success. We acquire companies in equity partnership with management, either the incumbent management team or a buy-in team. We assist managers to acquire or expand businesses by providing capital and, just as importantly, we actively support those managers to grow the value of their businesses and ultimately to realise that value. We bring operational expertise to our portfolio companies as well as financial and strategic capability. The quality of a business is the key to the success of a transaction. Our expertise lies in identifying potential investment opportunities with businesses in a strong market position and/or with growth potential, with strong cash flows and significant opportunities to improve operational performance. Ultimately, our skill lies in increasing and realising the value of a business. In April 2018, Archer Capital announced it would be winding up its operations.
