Growth Credit Fund VI
The fund follows on from the success of our earlier growth credit funds, and the growing awareness and adoption of growth credit in Australia. Like the previous funds, this fund will continue to provide a compelling risk / return profile for investors, whilst enabling founders access to capital with the need for diluting equity.
The fund is providing facilities from $1-20M, focused on rapidly growing companies that are differentiated through technological innovation. In particular, OneVentures is looking for companies operating in the SaaS, fintech and marketplace sub-sectors, who are led by exceptional founding teams and generating $3-5M ARR.
OneVentures’ new Growth Credit Fund provides a compelling risk / return profile from an asset class which is experiencing increased adoption in a growing market by a manager with unrivalled experience and proven track record. Having completed first close, Fund VI is on track to meet its target of $150M.

Growth Fund V
The OneVentures Growth Fund V reached final close on 31 May 2022 raising $142M.
The fund focusses on technology, tech-enabled and healthcare growth stage companies investing up to $20M+ per company. The companies are high quality scale-up technology businesses but may have fallen outside of the traditional VC mandate, bootstrapped or require support with corporate restructuring, offshore market entry and expertise to accelerate their next phase of growth. OneVentures’ operational and strategic expertise is provided in partnership with the leadership teams of our portfolio companies helping them to unlock their full potential.
The investment strategy for the fund considers major global thematics such as remote workforces, pandemic disruption, rapid digitisation of global economies, clean energy transition, urbanisation, ageing populations, access to education and affordable healthcare. Companies selected for the portfolio provide an innovative product or service with a positive benefit to society. Examples of company opportunities may be in collaboration tools, remote workforce management, aged and disability care, food production, platforms servicing healthcare and education, the enterprise cloud, logistics, property and infrastructure optimisation and management, robotics and automation, Internet of Things (IoT and sensors), big data and artificial intelligence (AI). The fund has a preference for subscription based/recurrent revenue business models.

Growth Credit Fund IV
The OneVentures Growth Credit Fund IV reached final close on 20 April 2020 raising $78M. The fund is a collaboration with Viola Credit of Israel and will provide circa $120M in debt financing for high-growth technology companies predominantly in Australia and New Zealand.
The fund is focused on rapidly growing companies that are differentiated through technological innovation, with strong revenue growth. In particular, OneVentures is looking for companies operating in the SaaS, fintech, marketplace and e-commerce spaces, who are led by exceptional founding teams and generating >$3-5M in revenue.
Growth credit (also referred to as debt) is attractive to companies seeking a less dilutive financing option, or companies looking to incorporate debt within the funding mix of their capital raising round. It provides a longer capital runway, allowing companies more time to achieve important milestones before a subsequent round of financing. In the same way as our equity investments, the OneVentures team will continue to provide insight, network and strategic knowledge to the investee company.
The fund is seeking technology companies with a strong product market fit, investing $500K to $10M per company and making approximately 20 investments.

The fund is licensed under the Commonwealth Government’s Biomedical Translation Fund (BTF) programme. The BTF programme was established to provide a pool of public and private funds for investment in promising biomedical innovations with commercialisation potential managed by leading Australian venture firms.
