Little Argas
Little Argas is an investment accelerator related to Flight Center, the Australian-based travel agency. We invest in post-launch tech, with investment size ranging from $50k up to $500k, with potential for follow-on investment. We usually invest alongside other investors and we can either lead, or follow other leading investors.
More specifically, we are looking to invest in companies where we can add significant value around our core sectors of expertise. We are particularly interested in creative ideas where the opportunity falls into one of the following: travel experience, travel retailing, corporate travel, youth and student, certain non travel sectors like financial and health.
Flight Centre brought discounted airfares to the Australian market over 30 years ago, and since then we have continued to be quite entrepreneurial as a company. The launch of our travel startup investment arm is part of an exciting plan for our future.
Our goal is to work with our partners to nurture new business ideas and fast track travel start-up companies incorporating areas of our DNA. We want to be the destination of choice for a wide range of travel and technology start-ups.
Through business partnerships, sponsorship, investment and mentoring, we are investing in the future of our business. We are excited about the prospect of working with business founders to create the next wave of business success stories.
