Company Overview
Summary
Empress Capital is a venture fund backing early stage Australian & New Zealand Artificial Intelligence Companies. Our vision is to lead positive change for humanity by investing in people and innovations. Artificial Intelligence is changing the way we live, which provides for unique new business models and exceptional high growth opportunities. Our research shows that the AI sector will be growing at over 40% for the next 8 years and we are targeting a return of 39% IRR for this high growth sector.
We have an exceptional team at Empress Capital who have an impressive record with significant Australian and global experience which will help our portfolio companies to succeed. We believe there is a large opportunity at the Pre-Seed and Seed stage with the right support for our portfolio companies. Spending in this sector will triple increase from 2.5 trillion in 2021 to $87 trillion in 2030. This provides for s once in a generation opportunity.
Goal of the Fund
Our goal is to return capital to our investors within 5 years and to generate significant returns of 39% IRR (fund modelling available in deal room). Our strategy for this to happen is to invest in several later stage companies (Series A+) which we believe are likely to have a liquidity event within 5 years. The majority of the Fund will focus on earlystagecompanies which we can use our unique value add and know how to grow over a 5 -10 year period. Our team and network of investors will help thegrowing companies to succeed.
