Archangel Ventures

Archangel Ventures is an Australian venture capital firm that specializes in providing pre-seed and seed funding to visionary founders across Australia. The firm positions itself as a first-cheque investor, emphasizing trust and long-term partnerships with the startups it backs. While generalist by design and sector-agnostic, Archangel Ventures is mission-aligned, seeking to accelerate companies that are moving the world forward. They deploy the majority of their capital at the earliest stages, recognizing this as the period where boldest visions take shape and founders require the most support.

Founded in 2020, Archangel Ventures was established by a team of experienced founders, operators, and builders who bring hands-on experience and deep networks to their investments. The firm's partners have a collective history of over a decade in the venture capital industry, with a significant number of pre-seed deals under their belt. They aim to build generational companies, supporting them from the initial fragile idea through every stage of growth.

Archangel Ventures' portfolio showcases a diverse range of innovative companies. Notable investments include Heidi, an AI Care Partner automating administrative work for clinicians; Atelier, which provides supply chain-as-a-service for health and beauty brands; and Pearler, an all-in-one finance app designed for the next generation of Australian investors. Other portfolio companies mentioned in various sources include Relevance AI, Mutinex, Emesent, and Fluency, spanning areas like AI-powered analytics, predictive analytics, and business software.

The team at Archangel Ventures is composed of individuals with extensive backgrounds in venture investing, angel investing, and startup operations. Key team members include Ben Armstrong (Managing Partner), Rayn Ong (Partner), Andrew Cicutto (Partner), Quentin Wallace (Venture Partner), and Thea Ngo (Senior Investment Associate). Their collective experience and networks are leveraged to provide tailored support, candid business advice, and open doors to industry experts and later-stage VCs, helping founders navigate their journey from startup to CEO.
