AS1 Growth Partners

AS1 Growth Partners

AS1 Growth Partners was founded as a private multi-family investment office in Sydney, Australia, with a team of five professionals including Conrad Yiu, Partner; Neil Corkin, Partner and CFO; Joe Patrick, Principal; and Les Wigan, Operating Partner. The firm does not publicly disclose its founding year or wealth origin, but its structure serves multiple families with a single investment arm. The firm specializes in growth-stage technology investments in both private and public markets, taking an active, partnership-first approach. Its asset-class mix covers private equity, public equities, and direct growth equity — with an evergreen capital structure that avoids fund-level time constraints. The firm does not publicly list portfolio companies or co-investors on its website, and its geographic focus appears concentrated in Australia and broader Asia-Pacific (per firm website). The team includes operating partner Les Wigan, who brings hands-on company-building experience. Beyond direct investing, AS1 provides wealth management and portfolio administration services for its internal stakeholders, aiming to steward capital across generations. No recent operational events — such as new hires, fundraises, or notable investments — are publicly documented in the last 24 months. AS1 Growth Partners structures itself as a multi-family office rather than a purely single-family vehicle, pooling resources across multiple families for scale. Its evergreen mandate — permanent capital without a fixed fund life — is a structural differentiator from typical venture or growth funds, allowing it to hold positions longer without liquidation pressure.
