Our Story
Built by operators. For operators.
Torus started with a simple observation: the best founders outside of Sydney and Melbourne don't have the same support infrastructure as the ones in it. And even the ones inside it don't get enough of the right help.
We've been those founders. We've raised the rounds, scaled the companies, sold them, and sat on both sides of the cap table. Cake Equity (10,000+ customers across 15 countries) and Simpro (unicorn exit via private equity) are two of the companies our team has built.
So when we built Torus, we didn't build a fund. We built a platform.
Currents finds the founders. Rally coaches them. Born To Be Alive builds with them. AI Catalyst incubates the best of them. Fusion Growth Labs validates them with enterprise. Torus Ventures funds them. VentureOn scales them.
We're not trying to be the biggest fund in ANZ. We're building the most useful one and the most enjoyable community to be part of while we do it. Enabling generations to thrive in the tech industry, and reach far beyond our city, connecting us to the best innovators globally.
