Funds Management

Latent Ventures provides Fund Management services through an Early Stage Venture Capital Limited Partnership (ESVCLP) that will be registered with Innovation Australia and become a member of AVCAL.

As the Fund Manager (General Partner) Latent Ventures will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the Fund. Its responsibilities will include identifying, analyzing and conducting due diligence on all eligible venture capital investments, ensuring compliance with the approved investment plan and providing ongoing management services for the term of the Partnership.

The ESVCLP will be registered with the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science under the Venture Capital Act 2002 and will be a member of the Australian Private Equity & Venture Capital Association Limited (AVCAL). The ESVCLP program is jointly managed by Innovation Australia with the support of AusIndustry and the Australian Taxation Office.

Capital Raising

Latent Ventures has established a unique position in the Asian Venture Capital market. Over the past five years there has been a significant trend developing with regard to different geographies of a start-up (target markets) and venture capital investment. The long held singular dominance by the United States of America is being challenged by the rapid ascent of cities in Asia. Notably, in the last five years Beijing and Shanghai accounted for over 27% of the world’s global increase in venture capital investment.

Latent Ventures is focused on providing seed and expansion capital for start-up businesses that are focused on product commercialisation within an early stage Australian venture that demonstrates high growth potential.
