We’ve been mentoring, advising, cheering on and angel investing in early-stage startups since 2017, so we’ve decided to make it official by launching our own seed fund, Protagonist.
Protagonist Capital invests in pre-revenue or early revenue businesses where story can play a supersized role in growth. We’re looking for consumer or B2B SaaS startups—as this is where we have the most experience and value to add—but we’re not dogmatic about it. Send us your founding story and pitch deck to hello@protagonistcapital.com.au
At C+D we’re curious, life-long learners and keep a global view.
Each year every team member goes on a Character Study—a trip to a global conference or event. This means we’re constantly seeing the world, meeting people and acquiring the latest thinking to apply to our work, as well as sharing our findings with clients and friends. At each event we send a nightly digest of insights from the day. See a history of these character study emails below:
