Frequently asked questions
How does Jekara source proprietary deal flow?
Jekara sources deal flow primarily through domestic networks within the Sydney and Melbourne technology ecosystems. The firm's co-investment relationships with established Australian VCs including Blackbird Ventures and Square Peg Capital provide access to follow-on rounds in companies that have already demonstrated product-market fit in local and North American markets.
How is Jekara related to other Australian venture firms?
Jekara has no publicly disclosed corporate parent or spinout relationship with another Australian venture firm. The firm co-invests alongside Blackbird Ventures and Square Peg Capital on multiple portfolio companies but operates as an independent entity with its own capital base and investment committee.
