We backed all three. Goterra turns food waste into protein with robotic insect farms. JigSpace renders an F1 car's airflow inside Apple Vision Pro. Quantum Brilliance runs quantum computers on synthetic diamonds at room temperature. That's a normal week's portfolio review at Rampersand.
We bet on long arcs. Every company we've backed since 2013 – the active and the acquired – sits across three big shapes: vertical AI rebuilding industries, hard tech where software meets atoms, and AI rewriting how the work itself gets done. Foundational LLM infrastructure to recurring-revenue ecommerce. The connective tissue is conviction.
Cuttable, Restoke, Hatch, JigSpace, Cake, Sherlok, Sapia, Keeyu.
Quantum Brilliance, Goterra, Mass Dynamics, Orkestra.
PredictHQ, Cor, Fourday, Mentorloop.
Our newest cohort – most in stealth, all at the frontier.
Software rewritten from scratch with agents at the core. Not a chat wrapper – a new shape.
How teams actually get things done, from hiring to equity to the meetings they don't have anymore.
Science companies with founders who read the papers. Quantum, spatial, compute, robotics.
Massive, under-digitised sectors where a small team can reset the standard – hospitality, logistics, payments, ag.
Consumer and prosumer companies where the founder's taste is the product. Rare but we love them.
Whatever we can't slot into a thesis but can't stop thinking about. About 10% of the book.
Cheques are flowing. We're actively writing into inception, pre-seed and seed rounds across Australia and New Zealand.
