I back three founders a year. The selection is deliberate.
Capital, mentorship, and the AI executive stack I use myself. For founders running a working business who want to scale faster without losing control.
What you get when I back you.
I do not write small cheques into ten companies a year. I take an equity stake in three, and I work the problem alongside you for as long as the partnership runs.
Growth capital, committed
Serious capital, cash and not leveraged, deployed against a plan you and I agree on, with milestones we both commit to. The number is discussed privately, once you are through the door.
Direct access to me
Not an advisor seat. Not a one-off intro. A regular cadence, structured like a fractional board chair. I am inside the business, working on the problem.
The AI executive stack
Search Edge AI access. The same tool I use every day to pressure-test decisions before they cost money. Included in the partnership.
The network
JT Foxx ecosystem (70+ companies, 55 countries). My property and investor network. My Sunshine Coast and Australian operator network.
I built it. Sold it. Now I back the people doing the same thing.
Over the past decade, I built a successful property buyers agency from the ground up, securing over 1,000 property deals and creating over $300m of growth for clients. I founded and scaled the company through shifting market conditions, culminating in a strategic exit that gave me firsthand expertise across the full business lifecycle, from startup launch to profitable sale.
As market dynamics evolve, I recognise that AI-driven transformation is revolutionising how businesses grow. I empower business owners with AI-driven systems that unlock efficiencies, reduce costs, and accelerate growth, tailored to their unique strengths and challenges.
Discipline and consistency define my approach, personally and professionally. For nearly eight years, I have maintained a daily 7-kilometre run without a single break. Success does not come from sporadic big wins. It comes from unwavering commitment and preparation at every step. The same focus that had me first to arrive and last to leave at every property seminar, which is how I secured preferential deals, is the focus I bring to my partnerships.
Curiosity fuels the journey. I started in travel, exploring global opportunities firsthand, then moved to property, and now AI, always anticipating market shifts ahead of others. That blend of commitment, consistency, and curiosity shaped my success, and it is what I bring to the founders I back.
Three steps from application to partnership.
No discovery calls. No demos. The application replaces all of that.
Apply
Eight questions. About 15 minutes. Free to apply. Most applications get a polite no. The ones that do not, move to step two.
Take a Search Edge AI seat
If your application clears, the next step is a 30-day window inside the tool I use every day. I see how you think and work, before either of us commits more time.
Sit down and decide
After 30 days, we have a deep conversation. If we both want to proceed, terms get drafted. Capital, equity, mentorship cadence, milestones. No high-pressure close. Either side can walk.
Three traits. One revenue gate. Sector second.
I screen for founder quality before sector. The traits I look for are the same traits I have screened for in myself for the last 20 years.
Discipline
You do hard things consistently. You do not need to be motivated to put the work in. Something in your life is evidence of this, not just your business.
Consistency
You have already shown you can repeat what works. Your business is generating revenue, not just interest. Pre-revenue is a no.
Curiosity
You are still learning. You read, you ask, you adapt. You are not the founder who already has every answer.
And in practice
Search Edge AI is included.
Every founder I back gets a seat on Search Edge AI, my JV with JT Foxx. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok in a single environment. Eight thousand hours of business intelligence layered on top.
I use it every day to pressure-test decisions before they cost money. You will too.
See the toolThe network comes with the partnership.
A decade of showing up, first in and last out, put me in the room with operators, investors, and global business leaders. The founders I back get access to that network, including my JV partner JT Foxx and his ecosystem of 70+ companies across 55 countries.
