The new fund, which helps early stage Australian and overseas-based software companies with the capital, knowledge and international relationships to enable global expansion opportunities, disclosed the completion of the investments along with the first close of its initial fund.

The fund plans to invest an average of A$10 million over 3-4 years in 15-20 such companies in the technology and software sector.

Australia-based FinClear offers a full-stack technology solution to third-party clearing and settlement in Australia's stockbroking community.
