About Us
We back founders early, from seed to series A. We then follow on as they scale up and have done so in some of Australia's best startups all the way through to their series C rounds.
By investing early, we get to know the founders and the business from the ground up. We feel that it's at this stage that we can add the most value.
Whilst we're sector agnostic, we have a preference for B2B SaaS, marketplaces, fintechs, e-commerce and alternative proteins.
Based in Sydney, Australia we definitely favour home-grown companies. However our portfolio demonstrates a willingness to invest on a global scale.
What People Say
We were fortunate to have Artiel Ventures as our early investor. Rob contributed to our initial pricing strategy, overall high-level strategy, and connected us with other valuable VCs. In particular, his advice to focus on building a product that users love was incredibly inspiring for our team.

I am honoured to share my experience working with Rob and Artiel Ventures who have been instrumental in the success of our company. As a founder, having access to the right investors is critical and Rob has been a crucial partner in this regard. He not only made introductions to current investors who completed a round, but also supported us throughout the entire process, even during the more challenging times. We are truly grateful for Artiel Ventures' involvement with Hotelmize and the immense value brought to the table. We highly recommend them to any entrepreneur looking for a supportive, collaborative and knowledgeable partner in their business journey.

I am thrilled to share my testimonial about Artiel Ventures and their invaluable contributions as an investor and advisor to our company, All G Foods. Rob's passion and commitment to our vision were evident from the moment he decided to invest in our company. Rob also introduced us to other investors and customers who shared our vision and helped us secure additional funding. I would highly recommend Rob and Artiel as an investor and advisor to any entrepreneur looking for a committed partner who will go above and beyond to support their success.

Rob has played a critical role in helping Investible to secure and support some truly fantastic portfolio companies, and his passion and dedication to supporting early-stage startups is second to none.

He has a talent for identifying innovative solutions and providing the guidance and support needed to help startups succeed. Whether it's through connecting founders with strategic partners, providing mentorship, or securing funding, Rob always goes above and beyond to support the companies in his portfolio.
Jayden Basha
Investment Manager, Investible
Artiel Ventures has been both a coach in the darkest of times and cheerleader in the best. Not only did Rob show his support by following-on in every subsequent round since joining our cap table, he was personally responsible for getting our first institutional investor to anchor our Series A. Artiel has backed us as founders and the Shippit vision from Day 1. Rob has been instrumental in helping us zoom out and see the bigger picture whilst in the depths of negotiating on terms with other investors.

Rob and Artiel have been true angels for Next World. Navigating the first round of investment is a tricky thing for those who have never before experienced it -plenty of outreach, rejection and very time consuming. Rob’s connections, experience and knowledge have been beyond helpful for Next World. From the initial outreach to today, Rob has been vital in key introductions, advocacy and advice. Many investors are one dimensional, whilst Rob is multi-dimensional. With Rob and Artiel, actions speak louder than words. Rob is always there for you, always positive.
Michael O'Reilly
Founder, Next World
After Artiel Ventures invested in our business it was clear to me that they not only believed in our vision but also in us as founders. Their support and guidance were instrumental in our early days, and I am grateful for the role they played in helping us navigate the startup world. Whether it was providing strategic advice, making valuable connections, or simply offering words of encouragement, Rob and the group is always there for us.

Rob got involved in FrontYa when we were still an idea on paper, and acted as a sounding board and advisor while we designed our product and formed our company. His insights and guidance were crucial in shaping our strategic path, enabling us to make informed decisions that significantly contributed to our journey at FrontYa.
I am incredibly grateful for Rob’s continuous support and belief in our mission at FrontYa. His early investment was not just a financial one, but an investment in our vision, our team, and our potential. At the same time, Rob’s prior experience and vast network opened doors to other partners and potential customers, expanding our initial reach and potential. These introductions played a significant role in our growth and helped us build valuable relationships within the startup community and financial industry.
However, what truly set Rob apart was his unwavering belief in us. Rob is a constant motivator and cheerleader, providing the encouragement, pushback, and support we need to persevere. Rob’s positive energy and confidence in our abilities is infectious and inspiring, even in our most challenging times. He is much more than an investor. He is a strategic partner, a mentor, and a constant source of motivation.
