Venture capital matching platformhelps founders find investors faster

Taking the friction out of startup funding, Inhouse Ventures unique matching technology automates the
fundraising process, allowing founders to match with investors and VCs to access funding faster.

Following their latest funding round, Australia’s number one marketplace is now eyeing global expansion
receiving backing from Scalare Partners and venture studio Shadowboxer.

Counting a community of 5500+ founders, investors, VC’s and family offices, Inhouse Ventures start-up
platform also matches members with ecosystem players across marketing, finance, PR and legal,
allowing them to navigate the complicated start-up ecosystem and access the capital they need to
succeed.

Noticing that the ecosystem was highly fragmented and difficult to conquer, partner Elliot Spiegel
developed a matching technology based on unique investor data where founders can upload a video
listing to receive match requests and investor meetings instantly, much like a modern dating profile.

“Like dating, raising capital is tough, we met many founders who were exhausted from pounding the
pavement and getting nowhere. Our platform helps take the friction out of funding, and gives them the
tools they need to succeed,” IHV partner Elliot Spiegel said.

Australia’s tech startups felt the crunch in 2023, raising $4billion less from investors compared to the
previous year, while the number of deals has almost halved. Recognising the shift early, Inhouse Ventures
sought to help founders weather the funding winter by adding not just traditional venture capital investors,

but family offices and angel investors to the online community. Since launching 18 months ago, they’ve
successfully helped broker more than 2000+ matches between investors, founders and thought-leaders
with a mission to help more than 1500 founders successfully raise and go to market by 2025.

The platform boasts a range of startups and businesses including early stage ventures such as
sustainability platform Brownee, messaging application Go Tradie and educational booking service Ed
Tripper; right up to Series A companies like parking app Kerb, adtech business TRENDii and online
styling marketplace Threadicated. A number of VC’s have also been requesting access to the family office
segment on the platform.

With the new backing from Scalare Partners and venture studio Shadowboxer, Inhouse Ventures is
focused on expanding further into global markets and rolling out new initiatives to help founders refine
their pitch using AI and succeed faster.

“Australia boasts a rich ecosystem of founders, venture capitalists and thought leaders but the challenge
has always been in connecting founders with the right people to succeed. With interest rates climbing and capital markets feeling the pinch, the traditional route to funding success is narrower, but we saw the
potential in streamlining the process with Inhouse Ventures to support the next generation of startups and

safeguard our ecosystem for the next decade,” Scalare Partners co-founder, partner James Walker said.

Melbourne based venture studio, Shadowboxer prides itself in supporting “big ideas and giving them
everything we’ve got; our time, money, talent and craft.” Founder Konrad Spilva said the group’s natural
synergy with Inhouse Ventures allowed them to be uniquely positioned to support the build and scale of a runway of founders looking to attract funding and grow their business.
