About
Clinton Capital Partners is a VC advisory business that specialises in raising capital and growing shareholder returns, for early stage companies and their investors
In addition, we invest our own funds to align company, investor & advisor
Clinton Capital Partners has a long and established track record of raising capital, growing companies, conducting mergers, creating liquidity events, and ultimately delivering shareholder returns for early stage companies and their investors.
Our company motto "Yesterday's Principles for Tomorrow's Companies" has formed our investment thesis - honour, integrity, humility. We pride ourselves on the quality of companies we partner with, the quality of our investor community, and ultimately, our investment performance.

- When raising capital, we feel early-stage companies underestimate the time involved, the distraction to the underlying business, and the importance of identifying the “right culturally aligned” investors for their journey.
- Understanding the investor landscape and unknown pools of capital is key, as non-traditional VC investors now make up >70% of all venture funding
- The cost and implications to a founder and business of not reviewing all options, partnering with the wrong investor and on the wrong terms, are enormous – 2022 has been a great example of this.
- Track Record - >90 transactions across 9 years
- Experience - advised & invested in Australian VC >20 years
