A message from our CEO
Jelix is a fast growing, venture capital firm based in Sydney. We focus on early stage investments in innovative technology where it provides a strong competitive advantage in a huge global market. We back daring founders to make the world better.
I started Jelix leading small syndicated investments into early stage tech startups. We now have $50m under management – $20m in syndicated co-investments and we have just closed our first formal fund, a $30m ESVCLP. We have already invested fund capital in 13 exciting startups.
We have been working hard investing in 32 startups in aggregate and raising our fund, so our website needs to be updated. We are about to embark on a rebranding exercise and then will update our website.

“Andrea and Ian Gardiner had a very positive impact on StorReduce’s trajectory. Their stellar reputation and investment into us helped others to trust us and led to further investment by other valuable investors. They are extremely pro-founder – having been founders themselves. They are lovely to deal with. We could not recommend them more highly to other startups.”
