With a network of over 45,000 investors, the platform is the largest and most established private capital marketplace in Australasia.

Wholesale Investor is a business introduction service that operates under ASIC Class Order 02/273, providing a platform for companies raising capital to connect directly with qualified wholesale and sophisticated investors.

For investors, the platform provides personalised deal flow matched to individual investment mandates, access to exclusive investor conferences and events, direct access to company founders and fund managers, and structured information to support due diligence and investment decision-making.

For companies and fund managers, the platform provides distribution to a qualified investor audience, visibility through curated showcases and events, and investor relations technology through the CapitalHQ platform.

CapitalHQ is Wholesale Investor’s AI-powered Capital Engagement Agent platform. Designed for founders, fund managers, and advisors, CapitalHQ automates investor relations, provides warmth signals to identify engaged investors, drafts communications in the user’s voice, and delivers a high-signal content feed that keeps investors engaged.

For founders, CapitalHQ eliminates the guesswork from capital raising by providing clear data on which investors are engaging with your materials, automated follow-up sequences, and confidence throughout the fundraising journey.

For advisors, CapitalHQ serves as an operating system that scales advisory practices without scaling headcount, with built-in recurring revenue through the Certified Partner Programme.

Wholesale Investor’s investor database includes over 45,000 registered participants spanning sophisticated and wholesale individuals, family offices, fund managers (VC, PE, and private credit), corporate and strategic investors, advisors and intermediaries, and founder-investors. Based on the 2026 Investor Survey, the largest investor segment (44%) are sophisticated or wholesale individuals, with an average first ticket size of $25,000 to $100,000.
