Paul Naphtali, Co-Founder and VC Funding Partner Australia

MEET THE TEAM

Get to know Paul…

Paul has worked in tech since the late 90s. That’s like 150 years in startup years.

Working in marketing and PR with Australian founders and big telcos before moving to the UK and onto Silicon Valley, Paul cut his teeth in startups for decades as a senior marketer for VC-backed startups, mainly from Israel.

Paul created Rampersand as the most value-additive early-stage investor for Australia’s most abnormally ambitious entrepreneurs. Paul’s mission is to lead Rampersand to be the first port of call for early-stage startup founders and to be the most engaging and high-returning fund for investors.  

It’s not normal to be hugely successful, so we love partnering with not normal people.
— Paul Naphtali

Paul’s superpower is…

Paul is (borderline unhealthily) obsessed with the Richmond Football Club (AFL)
