Reinventure is a Sydney-based venture capital firm that focuses on early-stage fintech and adjacent sectors, particularly in Australia. Founded in 2014 by Simon Cant and Danny Gilligan, the firm has a close partnership with Westpac, one of Australia's largest banks. This strategic relationship gives Reinventure access to deep financial insights, enabling it to invest in companies poised to drive change in the financial sector. The firm manages around $150 million in assets and has backed over 70 companies, including high-profile fintech ventures like Coinbase and ZestMoney. Reinventure is unique in its "founder-first" approach, providing not only financial backing but also access to Westpac’s resources to help its portfolio companies scale. Reinventure invests primarily at the seed and Series A stages, often focusing on disruptive technologies that could reshape the future of industries such as payments, legal tech, and digital banking. Reinventure’s portfolio extends beyond Australia, as it seeks to foster innovation across the Asia-Pacific region. The firm prioritizes companies with scalable business models that have the potential to transform industries both locally and globally.
