Profile

Galileo Ventures is a pre-seed and seed venture capital firm based in Sydney and Melbourne, founded in 2020. The firm is led by James Alexander as Managing Partner, Hugh Stephens as General Partner, and Julia French as Partner. Their team is known for backing emerging founders early with conviction, often being the first institutional money in and actively supporting their portfolio companies.

Galileo Ventures focuses on AI-native teams, enterprise software, robotics, and deep tech sectors that are challenging to build. They typically provide checks of A$200K to A$500K, scaling up to A$1M, emphasizing regions including Australia and notably Victoria, as well as maintaining operations in San Francisco.

Some notable investments from Galileo's portfolio include Relevance AI - an AI agents platform, Andromeda Robotics - a companion robotics firm, and Tixel - a ticket resale marketplace. Other companies in their portfolio encompass various sectors, such as Kite Magnetics - electric aviation technology, and CarbonHQ - carbon project management solutions.
