Our philosophy

We back people before we back plans.

Four principles shape who we back and how we work with them.

Read our philosophy →
01. Principle

Founders first

Real ambition, clear thinking and the resilience to keep going when the plan changes. Then we get behind them properly.

02. Principle

Early, with conviction

We'd rather form a view before the market has. Early doesn't mean undifferentiated: we look for the shape of a moat.

03. Principle

Strong thematics

AI and its infrastructure, energy, and health and wellbeing: businesses riding genuine structural shifts.

04. Principle

Support that fits

No playbook. Introductions, capital raising, operational and finance support, when it's useful.

Quantli
AI · Financial markets [confirm]

Quantli

A financial markets platform for investors, combining stock screening, news and analysis tools, with a PRO subscription tier.

MyDeal

Where it started

MyDeal.com.au

Founded 2011, listed on the ASX in 2020, 80% acquired by Woolworths Group in 2022. The journey behind how we invest.

Support that fits the company

Available when it's hard. Out of the way when it's not.

No two businesses need the same thing from an investor, so we don't run a playbook.

Introductions

Customers, talent, co-investors and the people who've solved the problem you're facing.

Raising capital

Round structure, investor targeting, materials and the negotiation itself.

Operational support

From operators who've scaled businesses, not advisers who've watched others do it.

Finance support

The numbers, the board, the reporting, and the path to a liquidity event when the time comes.

Sean Senvirtne

Built by operators

We know what the journey asks of a founder.

Sean Senvirtne founded MyDeal.com.au in 2011, took it to the ASX in 2020 and through its sale to Woolworths Group in 2022. HMS Capital is his family office, and it invests the way he'd have wanted to be backed.

As a family office, not a fund, there's no deployment clock and no pressure to exit on someone else's timeline. We can be patient and back our winners into later rounds.
