What Electro Ventures does

Electro Ventures (legal entity: Electro Venture Holdings Pty Ltd) is an Australian entrepreneur-led investment holdings company headquartered in Perth, WA, founded in 2022. Rather than operating a conventional venture capital fund, it holds and incubates a portfolio of over a dozen sustainable innovation companies spanning electric aviation, electric marine, and clean energy infrastructure. The company targets the highest-adoption-rate segments of the emobility market, holds ESIC (Early Stage Innovation Company) eligibility, and explicitly does not charge management or performance fees, instead investing in parallel with co-investors. Its 8-person leadership team is composed of founders and operators who have personally built startups, providing in-kind advisory alongside capital.

The portfolio combines proprietary hardware and software across three transport domains. In electric aviation, Electro.Aero develops 200kW electric aircraft chargers and renewable-energy aviation infrastructure; Fly On E provides electric aircraft training and sales (fixed-wing two-seaters scaling to 5-seat air taxis); and Jump Aero Asia-Pacific represents the JA1 high-speed emergency responder eVTOL in the Asia-Pacific region. In electric marine, ENautic Group has developed the proprietary WaveDrive electric hydrofoil propulsion system and WaveFlyer personal watercraft; Aqua Flights operates eFoil surfboard rentals through larger eFoil ferries; and Electro Skimmer combines proprietary electric ducted fan technology with James Greenberger's Mudskipper Wing-in-Ground (WIG) Vessel. In clean energy infrastructure, Electro Base produces modular containerized batteries for grid-independent solar EV fleet charging. The June 2026 acquisition of VertiSim (formerly VertiPort Simulations, founded by Joseph Mattern) added eVTOL and vertiport simulation technology and is the only wholly-owned subsidiary in the portfolio.

Electro Ventures operates a Venture Studio model branded ElectroLabs, which experiments with and incubates new sustainable innovation ideas internally before spinning them out as separate portfolio companies or further investments; the CyberTrailer aerodynamic solar trailer prototype is an example. The revenue model is investment returns and equity value appreciation across the portfolio, with the company explicitly waiving conventional 2%/year management and 20% capital gain performance fees. The go-to-market is direct co-investment alongside sustainable innovation founders, supported by a referral-driven distribution approach via the portfolio company network and a website contact form. The stated target is an average of at least 50% compounded annual growth rate, with ESIC eligibility providing eligible investors a 20% tax offset and zero capital gains tax for 1–10 year holdings.
