Introduction

Stone Ridge Ventures has $60M under management in four separate investment funds which address all stages of company development. These funds are available for investment in leading Australian technology businesses to develop outstanding management teams, commercialise innovative technology and become a global or regional market leader.

Foundation Innovation Investment Fund >>
The Foundation Innovation Investment Fund (IIF) is a $35 million fund that is focused on investing in early stage ventures from start up to $4 million in revenue. The fund was established in 2001 as part of the AusIndustry Innovation Investment Fund Program and currently has 6 investee companies.

Technology Fund >>
The Stone Ridge Ventures Technology Fund is a $10 million fund investing in Life Sciences, IT&T, materials and other technologies. Unlike the Federal Government’s Pre-Seed Fund Program, there is no limitation on the source of the intellectual property or the structure of ownership of the investee company. The initial investment from the Seed Fund will be generally be used for proof-of-principle research and for the early establishment of viable companies and management teams that are attractive to follow-on investors.

SRV MWEP Fund >>
The SRV MWEP Fund is a dynamic initiative in early stage funding established in conjunction with Murdoch University and Westscheme. It facilitates and assists researchers in developing their innovative ideas into commercial opportunities. MWEP was established in January 2004 and invests in projects flowing from Murdoch University through a $10 million early stage fund.

Follow-on & Co-Investment Fund >>
The Stone Ridge Ventures Follow-on and Co-Investment Fund focuses on middle and later stage companies from all fields of technology, with a particular emphasis on co-investments and follow-on investments into new opportunities and existing Stone Ridge Ventures’ companies.
