Radar Ventures

General Partner and Managing Partner Atlanta Daniel leads investment decisions alongside General Partner Rod Drury. The firm states its mandate was shaped by Daniel's experience surviving cancer, which she cites as reorienting her focus toward purpose-driven investing. No investment committee beyond the named partners is disclosed.

Radar Ventures is structured as a private capital fund, not a single-family office. The firm's website describes it as a private fund based in Australia and New Zealand that invests globally. It is led by two General Partners and may accept external capital in addition to contributions from its principals.

The fund concentrates on deep tech and platform technologies with the potential to solve global-scale problems. Its stated focus areas include the sustainable future of food, water, and energy; the advancement of health and medicine; communications, computing, robotics, AGI, and defence technologies. The portfolio reflects this through positions in synthetic biology, alternative proteins, quantum-adjacent sensing, and biological computing.

Radar Ventures invests primarily at the early stage, including seed and startup rounds, with the stated intention to follow on as portfolio companies grow. The firm does not publicly restrict itself to a single stage, but its website emphasizes a preference for early entry points in deep tech companies.

Radar Ventures co-founder and General Partner Rod Drury is the founder of Xero, the global small-business accounting platform. Drury's wealth generation from Xero provides a capital base for the fund, though Radar Ventures operates independently as a private investment vehicle rather than a corporate venture arm of Xero.
