Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Wollemi Capital?
Co-founders Tim Bishop and Paul Hunyor jointly lead investment decisions. Bishop, formerly a senior dealmaker at Macquarie Capital, brings deep infrastructure and structured-finance expertise. Hunyor, previously a partner at Potentia Capital, contributes growth-equity and technology-investing experience. The firm's investment committee structure has not been publicly detailed.
How does Wollemi Capital source proprietary deal flow?
Wollemi's sourcing strategy relies heavily on the networks of its co-founders. Tim Bishop's two decades at Macquarie Capital provide access to large-scale infrastructure and energy project developers. Paul Hunyor's background in technology private equity connects the firm to the Australian and New Zealand climate-tech startup ecosystem. The combination is designed to surface opportunities that do not fit neatly into a single asset-class silo.
Is Wollemi Capital structured as a single family office or does it operate more like a venture firm?
Neither. Wollemi is a specialist asset manager raising institutional capital, not a family office. It operates as a hybrid platform, making venture-stage growth-equity investments while also executing infrastructure-level project finance deals. This dual structure distinguishes it from pure-play venture firms and traditional infrastructure fund managers alike.
What investment stages and asset classes does Wollemi Capital typically target?
Wollemi targets growth equity, real assets, and project finance. Its growth-equity practice can invest from early-stage through late-stage rounds in climate technology companies. The real-assets and project-finance arms focus on operational renewable energy projects, battery storage installations, and related physical infrastructure. The firm deliberately spans the risk spectrum rather than confining itself to one stage.
Which sectors does Wollemi Capital explicitly avoid?
Wollemi has not published an exclusions list. However, its mandate is explicitly climate and decarbonisation focused, meaning sectors without a clear sustainability thesis — such as fossil fuel extraction, conventional real estate development, or generalist enterprise software — fall outside its stated investment perimeter.
