Before becoming a venture investor, Simon Cant worked as a lawyer, founder, consultant, nonprofit director, and coach, and he helped build Australia's fintech industry as the founding president of FinTech Australia, where his advice is said to have helped countless people beyond just the companies he funded. He also brings a distinct view to investing, believing banks should put money into the very startups trying to disrupt them, and pointing to China's payment systems as proof that markets can skip entire generations of banking technology.

Reinventure is a Westpac-backed venture fund, founded in 2013 by Simon Cant and Danny Gilligan as Australia's first dedicated fintech VC fund, that focuses on startups that can gain a real advantage from a close relationship with Westpac, mostly in Asia-Pacific fintech and embedded financial services in areas like HR, food, property and healthcare. It has built a reputation as an ecosystem-builder—helping start Stone & Chalk and FinTech Australia, creating early community and founder-support programs inside the fund, and turning its bank ties into concrete outcomes like Assembly Payments and Valiant's Westpac partnerships.
