"We've been investing in early-stage software companies since the late 90s. That experience, pattern recognition built over decades, is what we bring to every founder relationship."

About EVP_
EVP was established in 2014 to back early-stage software founders in Australia and New Zealand. Since then, we've built one of the most experienced software-focused VC teams in the region, with a strong focus on AI-first businesses.
We're ambitious, analytical, and direct. We build real relationships with founders and stay involved where it matters, not just as investors, but as partners.
Currently investing out of EVP Fund V: a $120m fund backing AI-first software companies with the products and teams to scale globally.
