Lerer Hippeau is an early-stage venture capital fund headquartered in New York. Lerer Hippeau was founded by Ken and Ben Lerrer, co-founders of the Huffington Post and Thrillist respectively, and the majority of our team consists of fellow startup founders and operators. We look to invest in entrepreneurs with product vision, consumer insight, focused execution, and unwavering ambition. Historically, we have invested primarily in early-stage companies based in New York (although we are not limited to NY), and almost exclusively headquartered in the United States.

We are focused on identifying exceptional founders leading high growth businesses. We then work with the founders and provide support for them, their team and their business. This is what sets us apart from the rest. We are one of the most active providers of early stage investments to startups in Australia. We provide more than just our capital to help the best founders build and grow amazing tech businesses that disrupt industries and change the world. Our portfolio of over 20 startups includes some of Australia's most exciting startups, including Airtasker, GO1 and Sendle.

Great Oaks Venture Capital is a New York and San Francisco based Seed and Series A venture fund. We primarily focus on Consumer, Enterprise and Healthcare startups headquartered in NY or SF, and typically invest $50K to $500K per deal. We are one of the most active seed investors in the New York region and have an extensive network throughout the United States comprised of leading tech founders, peer venture investors and specific industry specialists. Our goal is to help founders grow their businesses rapidly and become profitable and self-sustaining, sell their business or attract growth financing. We work most closely with founders ahead of their Series A financings when they are working to find product market fit and develop their product or service. We align ourselves with founders in order to help negotiate and secure the right growth investors, buyers and partners for the lifetime of the business.

Founded by Steve Baxter, Transition Level Investments provides equity capital and operational expertise across Seed and Series A rounds to Australian companies. At TLI we partner with founders, and we invest in people, not just the business. We focus on startups with the potential to scale. We believe great companies are built by great entrepreneurs, not venture capitalists.
