Why we invested

Why Blocks Global,
and why then.

The trades were the biggest, fastest-growing, least-digitised L&D market in Australia. Blocks Global built the first product that felt designed for a diesel mechanic, not a knowledge worker.

We came in as a follow-on; the thesis paid off when a strategic acquired Blocks Global in 2022.
