Rampersand is a venture fund for ANZ-born founders building anywhere in the world, with a process built to be checked by founders themselves: a sub-two-week path from first meeting to signed term sheet, reference calls with founders they've disagreed with, and a written framework (What Do We Need To Believe) that lays out the specific beliefs behind each investment. They focus on AI-native software, vertical AI, and areas where software meets physical industries like hardware and robotics, backed by concrete efforts to connect founders with customers and specific companies through named intro paths.
