Apply for funding.
We back Australian deep-tech founders from pre-seed to Series A. Read the four things below first — they tell you whether we're the right partner before you fill in the form.
Skip to application↓Four hard filters. If you don't match these, we're not the right partner yet.
Companies registered in Australia. We can support Asia-Pacific expansion, but the home jurisdiction matters for ESVCLP eligibility.
Bio & medical, advanced manufacturing, AI & robotics, climate & energy, and adjacent deep-tech sectors with defensible IP.
We lead at pre-seed and seed. At Series A and later, we participate as follow-on only — we don't lead price discovery beyond seed.
We back founders passionate about changing some aspect of the world. We explicitly do not screen on ethnicity, gender, sexuality, or class.
For both regulatory and thesis reasons, Boson does not invest in dual-use technology, defense, space, quantum, or fusion. If your company falls into one of these, we're not the right partner — please don't submit.
Apply once. From submission to investment committee in roughly six weeks.
You submit the form. We acknowledge within 48 hours.
A partner reads everything. If there's a fit, we schedule a first call.
Technical, commercial, and reference diligence. Founder time required: ~10 hours.
Investment committee. Yes is fast. No comes with the reasoning, in writing.
Six things founders ask before applying.
Typically A$250K–A$1.5M for first cheques. We can lead, co-lead, or follow strong leads. We hold reserves for follow-on rounds.
Yes. ESVCLP rules require the investee to be Australian-resident. If you're considering moving HQ, talk to us early.
No, not at the application stage. We sign NDAs once we move into formal diligence. Send what you'd be comfortable sharing.
Roughly 10 hours over 3–4 weeks: 2–3 calls, technical Q&A, reference intros, data-room sharing. We minimise busywork.
Yes — with new traction, a new round, or new data. We track every founder we've spoken to and re-engage when things change.
Rarely. Our edge is in technical due diligence on deep tech and in the Australia–Asia commercialisation corridor. Other funds are a better match for SaaS or DTC.

Three blocks. Block A is what we use to assess fit. Block B is anonymous and never used for screening. Block C is what we read first.
