Coming soon: The future of regenerative healthcare for Aussie pets.

We are builders of technology businesses currently at top tier internet companies in APAC. We believe startups in Southeast Asia deserve a better breed of angels - genuinely wanting to go beyond capital. We like to work closely with promising founders, bringing to bear our own experiences building and scaling technology companies and products in Southeast Asia. We have noticed a ton of these people are sitting in our network of technology leaders wanting to invest in high-quality startup founders, wanting to engage and help, but without having a programmatic avenue to do this on a regular basis.

Coming soon: The future of regenerative healthcare for Aussie pets.

We are Black Nova VC, and were championing the next generation of B2B technology startups. Were a team of founders, turned investors. We have successfully built and exited companies and we can empathise with what you’re going through. We get it. We get you. That’s why we believe we can help. We support our portfolio companies with our time, our network, our experiences and our multiple initiatives. Our support is enabled by capital, not the other way around.

At Jelix, we lead investments in visionary young technology companies to accelerate growth. We focus on globally scalable businesses poised to disrupt traditional markets with innovative technology, led by tenacious entrepreneurs.
