VentureX Capital

What VentureX Capital does

VentureX Capital is a Perth-based angel investment syndicate that invests exclusively in female-led ventures. Founded in 2022 as VentureX HQ by Sheryl Frame and Stephanie Rowland, the company pivoted in August 2023 to launch VentureX Capital as a dedicated syndicate on the Aussie Angels platform, where accredited investors can review and co-invest in pre-filtered female-led deal opportunities. The firm's core product is the VentureX Capital Syndicate, supplemented by a funding application service for founders and a Masterclass for Aspiring Angel Investors educational program. Revenue is generated through carry on investment returns and transaction-level syndicate fees, though no revenue, AUM, or portfolio data is publicly disclosed.

The company operates from a virtual office in Perth, Western Australia, with a headcount of 1-10 and serves two primary customer segments: female-led startups and scaleups seeking capital and mentorship, and accredited angel investors seeking curated deal flow and community. Its distribution relies on the Aussie Angels digital platform for investor onboarding, in-person events at premium CBD venues (including CBA Raine Square in Perth) for community building and lead generation, and partnerships with the WA Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation (via the New Industries Fund – XTEND WA Program), ECU School of Business & Law, and Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

Underlying technology is limited: the company does not operate a proprietary platform and depends on the third-party Aussie Angels infrastructure for deal management and investor access. The syndicate is vertically agnostic, targeting female-led companies with at least one woman in an executive role holding significant equity and with an MVP or validated product, across all industries. The co-founders' combined 20+ years of experience — including Sheryl Frame's recognition as Australia's ICT Professional of the Year (2019) and Stephanie Rowland's corporate M&A and IP/T law background at IBM and Motorola — is the primary stated differentiator alongside the exclusive female-led thesis.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Antler: Antler is a global early-stage VC that operates residency programs and syndicates, with an active Australian presence. It competes for the same angel-stage deal flow and shares a community-led model.
• AngelList (AngelList Venture): AngelList operates rolling funds and syndicates globally, enabling GPs to raise and deploy capital deal-by-deal. Comparable as the dominant infrastructure for the same angel syndicate business model VentureX pursues on Aussie Angels.
• OurCrowd: OurCrowd is an online global venture investing platform that aggregates accredited investors into curated deals. Comparable as a deal-by-deal syndicate platform, though with much broader sector mandate.

Direct peers

• SoGal Ventures: SoGal Ventures is a global, female-founded venture fund investing in diverse founding teams. Like VentureX, it is built around a female-founder/LP community and pursues a similar thesis, though at fund scale rather than angel syndicate.
• Aussie Angels: Aussie Angels is the angel syndicate platform on which VentureX Capital operates. Both run curated, deal-by-deal angel syndicates for accredited investors in Australia with similar carry-based economics, making it the closest comparable.
• Female Founders Fund: Female Founders Fund is an early-stage venture fund exclusively backing female-founded companies. It shares VentureX Capital's single-thesis focus on female-led ventures, though operating at VC rather than angel-syndicate scale.
• Scale Investors: Scale Investors is a female-focused angel syndicate/collective investing in female-founded companies (US-based but with global deal flow). It is a direct competitor to VentureX Capital's thesis of aggregating capital for female-led ventures.

Emerging players

• Galion.exe: Galion.exe is a female-focused growth investor and community supporting female founders across Europe. Comparable as a community-driven, female-exclusive investor with overlapping LP and founder audiences.

Regional players

• Blackbird Ventures: Blackbird is one of Australia's largest early-stage VCs with deep roots in the founder community. Comparable as an Australian early-stage investor competing for the same founder pipeline, though broader in sector focus.
• Startmate: Startmate is an Australia/NZ-focused accelerator and angel network backing early-stage startups. It shares VentureX Capital's geography, early-stage deal sourcing, and angel community orientation.
