A global private markets investment firm.

With a differentiated co-investment program, Goanna Capital has raised and invested Five Funds across two complementary strategies: Direct Private Technology and Private Equity Secondaries.

Strategies

1. Direct Venture & Growth

We are proud to have built a track record investing in the most generationally important private technology companies globally.
Our direct strategy invests across primaries and secondaries, targeting Series B to pre-IPO single asset opportunities.

2. Private Equity Secondaries

We provide liquidity to LPs and leading GPs across PE and Growth Equity.
The strategy focuses on pools of assets (typically fully invested funds in harvesting period) to create diversification for our investors, while skipping the J curve.
Our secondary strategy targets world class PE/Growth focused managers & portfolios at attractive discounts to NAV.
