Southern Cross Venture Partners
Contact: Gareth DandoBiography
Southern Cross’s current investment focus is primarily in the areas of: telecommunications, systems software for the enterprise, security, services, advanced materials, environmental science/energy, semiconductors and electronics, digital media and internet applications, nanotechnology, mining technologies, water technologies, and innovation in agriculture.
Southern Cross primarily invests in the first round of institutional investment. We also selectively invest in seed and the second or later rounds, depending on the opportunity and our ability to add value. With all our investments, we have the ability to continue to invest in later rounds of financing. Investment ranges from as little as $100,000 to more than $5 million in larger growing companies. Typically we invest $2 – $5 million initially with the ability to invest more money in later rounds. Frequently we serve as the lead or co-lead in most investments.
We do not presently have any clean technology investments.
