Investor network
Cicada has established deep and long-term relationships with the investor community here in Australia and Internationally. We have close links with all Australian VCs (Main Sequence Ventures, One Ventures, Artesian etc), family offices and leading international VCs such as Horizon Ventures.
Our resident and alumni community cap tables reflect a roll call of the leading investors in deep tech. We will support you to become investment-ready, whether it’s your first raise or when seeking follow-on funding.
International VC/Investor groups regularly visit Cicada and if their investment area of interest includes your solution, we will be in touch. These visits occur regularly, are ad hoc and often present themselves at short notice, apologies in advance!
