M8 Ventures

Great companies are built by great product teams. M8 backs them first. We're product and engineering people ourselves. We put the first cheque and real time behind founders building across Australia and New Zealand - and we know how to spot the real ones early. We've built product ourselves. So we know what good looks like. To build something millions of people love, you need a great product and technical team. Knowing one when you see it is genuinely hard -- unless you've done the work yourself. We have, and we use it to find and back the best product-led founders in the region, usually before anyone else is paying attention. ▪ Product and engineering We come from building and shipping. We can talk to your team about the actual work, not just the cap table. ▪ First cheque, hands-on We back conviction early and stay close — intros, hiring, product calls, the unglamorous stuff that matters. ▪ ANZ-rooted, globally minded The next generation of global companies is already being built here. We know where to look. From Pre-seed to Series A. We discover and accelerate the next generation of remarkable global technology companies, both here at home in Australia & New Zealand and further afield, in high-growth and emerging markets.
