Rimon Group

Rimon originates deals through its advisory practice, which prepares R&D Tax Incentive and Export Market Development Grant claims for thousands of Australian businesses. Because the firm obtains deep technical and financial visibility during claim preparation, it can identify investment candidates before they run formal fundraising processes. This effectively merges grant-compliance consulting with proprietary venture deal flow.

Rimon operates as a hybrid: an advisory firm that earns fees for preparing government-grant claims, paired with a venture arm that invests equity across seed, startup, and growth stages. The entity is not a family office; it functions as an asset manager whose portfolio companies frequently overlap with its consulting client base.

Rimon's public materials reference direct venture investing across seed through growth stages. There is no mention of fund-of-fund commitments or LP positions in external managers, though the firm may structure investments through SPVs or direct equity as part of its venture practice.

The R&D Tax Incentive and Export Market Development Grant are central to Rimon's model. By maximizing clients' non-dilutive grant proceeds, Rimon reduces the equity capital those companies need from external investors. For Rimon's venture portfolio, this can lower entry valuations or extend runway before equity rounds, effectively subsidizing risk with public-money claim execution.

Rimon's advisory practice serves a broad range of Australian industries that are eligible for the R&D Tax Incentive and EMDG programs, but the firm does not name specific sector focuses publicly. Its investment activity likely mirrors the sectors represented in its consulting client base — companies conducting eligible R&D or pursuing export-market expansion across technology, manufacturing, and science-driven verticals.
