Southern Angels

Last week's Pitch Meeting was something special. Two exceptional teams, both tracking to receive investment: promosync.ai - Automating Trade Promotions cropify.io - Grain grading HaaS Thanks to @Deloitte the venue and Peter Malinauskas for his speech.

Two more certainties in life: 💊 Menopause (scheduled by biology) and 💻 IT problems (scheduled by Murphy’s Law). Last night we met two founders tackling them head-on: emsee.co superit.ai Thanks to cowellclarke.com.au for hosting us!🥇

It was a pleasure meeting these #proptech startups this week: 🛎️📈 tyalls.com 🏡🔎 sellsmart.com.au Both are solving real problems, have unique tech, strong revenue, experienced and driven founders, and big markets to go after. Exactly what we look for 🚀

This month we met two founders at the cutting edge of their respective fields: 🧬 Dr Jonathan Hall shared qubigen.com - a globally federated AI system for drug design. 🌞 Katie Donaldson shared praxislabs.com.au - producing composite solar systems. #BetterWorld

2025 off to a flying start, with our first Pitch Meeting of the year attracting lots of new faces. We heard from gammavaccines.com who are developing novel viral vaccines. Then spotfake.ai - a deepfake media detection service.

A balmy Adelaide afternoon spent at Treasury 1860 yesterday, celebrating the festive season with our incredible members, supporters, and portfolio company founders. Your achievements this year have been nothing short of remarkable. 🥂✨

Outstanding pitches last night by Jassa from Frigid Cloud and Damien from Apollo Secure. Two really experienced founders building software that will become operationally critical systems in their respective industries; #breweries and #CyberSecurity .

Startup founders, don’t worry, pitching in front of a 14-METRE digital wall is totally normal 😂 ...of course, they crushed it. Thanks to Susan from thelaundrylady.com.au and Kelly from bluedwarf.space for stepping up (and not getting vertigo).

A packed house at PwC today for Southern Angels' Pitch Meeting! The promise of lunch brought us together, but it was the high-calibre pitches from two exceptional female-led startups that stole the show. Thanks to: 🧡@Careappgroup - Allison Nikula 💜SmartFem - Anabela Correia

Thursday night at @KPMG we met RaviTeja from the space pharma research company researchsat.space and @Katecokeeffe, Fiona & Rutger from market insights software company heatseeker.ai Both changing the game in their industries #biotech and #martech.

When you're investing in early stage, its all about backing founders who are unequivocally going to execute. This month's pitch left us with no doubt that Jevon from keeyu.com and Matt from ecohoistmining.com are the right people. Host thanks to #PiperAlderman

One of the first investments by members of Southern Angels was into @gpnvaccines' Seed Round in 2018. Their latest round delivers (at least on paper) a 75-fold return on our first cheques. Congratulations to the team for your impressive progress! gpnvaccines.com/gpn-vaccines-c…

💬"Thanks again for tonight, it was a great experience" ...that's what we like to hear! Last night, 25 investors had the opportunity to meet Dr Susan Evans and Zac Bailey - two very experienced founders who have dedicated themselves to solving reaworld problems faced by millions.

Great turnout for the April Pitch Meeting! Big thank you to the team at @WilliamBuckAU for hosting us at their beautiful office on Victoria Square. Presenting was Corey from Smart Cities Council and Denis from MyMediation.

Off to a flying start! Big thanks to Harry from Corcillum Systems and Bob from Playground123 for making the time to present at our first pitch meeting of 2024. Learning about your business then breaking bread together in the best way to connect founders with the right investors.

Thank you Andrew Perry from @prepdhydration and Optible's @NickBoniciolli for presenting to Southern Angels last night for our final Pitch Meeting of the year. So far in calendar 2023, we've assessed 77 companies, and brought 22 to pitch at 11 events. Bring on 2024!

To the moon! 🚀 ...thanks Napoleon for pointing the way. Last night we saw pitches by Edward from @robinsonsystems and Rob from @AgoraLivestock - both incredibly smart, dedicated, backable founders.

At this week's pitch meeting we met Tim & Stefan from Perth-based cyber solution hyprfire.com and Kale Needham from big data analytics company out of Adelaide, spiraldata.com.au . We were impressed by the innovative solutions presented by both startups 🚀

Really impressive space startups coming out of the @ICCUniSA Space Accelerator.

The Australian #healthtech market is expected to reach $100 billion by 2025. We lots of members with expertise in the sector, so it was great to host Paul from neocare.net.au & John from metabolichealthsolutions.org at the new @ICCUniSA #AngelInvesting #StartupPitch
