We partnered with Airtree because they understood our vision went beyond a link-in-bio tool, and saw our potential to empower the creator economy to make a living from their passions. As a founder, you want to work with people who are just as excited about your vision as you are.

Elicia has been an early thought leader in deep tech investments, proving how these bets pay off. We're extremely grateful for that early support and trust in us, as well as Elicia's and Airtree's role in building equity in the Australian startup ecosystem around topics like parental leave and founder pay equity.

I’ve worked with Airtree for close to a decade now and they’ve played an important role in Employment Hero’s success. Their team and SaaS expertise are a standout, and the community they’ve built around their founders is second to none.

James was one of the few investors we met that really understood our vision from the very beginning—and he continued to be a great thought partner for us as we scaled the business.

It's rare you get both an exceptional brand in a VC firm and personalised, genuine support; John and the Airtree team have helped us with everything from hiring at scale, to strategic advice, to countless investor introductions. They are unwaveringly loyal to their portfolio companies and a leader in Australian venture.

Airtree’s approach is direct, open and honest, enabling us to build trust and a relationship quickly. Jackie is both incredibly commercial and extremely relational, always showing empathy for the pressure of raising capital, growing a business and life outside of work.

There's no manual for founders on how to manage every twist and turn that comes with building a startup. Airtree’s team are always thoughtful – strategic when it makes sense, and simply encouraging when that’s what we’ve needed. We’re grateful for their support from the early seed stage. To top things off, they’re a bunch of legends!

I first met Craig in 2015, and he has since become a trusted and respected thought partner and sounding board for the executive team and me. Airtree’s brand is a useful talent magnet for Go1.

Elicia is not just an investor in our company but also a valued strategic soundboard. She’s been a consistent support throughout the ups and the downs of our journey. No problem is too hard and if she doesn’t immediately know the answer she always connects me with someone who does.

Craig has a high level of integrity, and his experience and judgement have been invaluable to the board and me in his role as Chairman of Pet Circle since we first founded the company.

The Airtree team uses all their experience working with the fastest growing tech companies to help founders at the earliest stages see around corners and lay down solid foundations for the long-term. Airtree’s brand and reputation helps with hiring and social proof, and their events and support for founders raises the bar for VCs in ANZ.

I’ve partnered with Airtree in my startups Xplor and Kismet and their support and collaboration beyond funding sets them apart as the best in the business.

Dylan & I feel genuinely lucky to have John in our corner. He has pushed us to reach even higher when times are good and has helped us in genuinely meaningful ways when times are tough. He is sensible, thoughtful and great fun too. Airtree's Founder network, Operator network and internal support staff have been a huge help to Qwilr in many ways small and large over the years too. We wouldn't be the company we are today without John & Airtree.

Airtree have been an invaluable partner to us as we build Firmable, with John and the team bringing genuine insight to the strategic questions we are facing. We also value being part of Airtree’s network of entrepreneurs and executives, which helps our leadership team navigate the challenges of building a startup.

Airtree gets founders. The team delivers on their promises with unwavering conviction and efficiency. Access to their network and experience has opened doors for us. And we feel like we're part of a community connected to both the Airtree team and the rest of the portfolio, which has been hugely valuable.

The Airtree team truly understands the rollercoaster ride of early-stage startups. John goes well beyond mere advice to offer hands-on support diving into the hottest problems. He's an exceptional thought partner and active board member who is genuinely invested in our vision and success.

Jackie is a great strategic partner who understands our tactical needs whilst balancing them with long-term growth objectives. She has uplifted our board governance and supported me as a founder to evolve into a CEO and leader. The Airtree team is willing to invest the time in getting to know your business and see where they can add value based on your needs and stage.

I consider Airtree to be one of the top VCs in the country and valuable to have in our corner as they’ve supported Canva and our growth through talent, press and customer introductions.
