Entrepreneurs are easily misunderstood. They have a vision of the world which is in conflict with the status quo. Change is hard – and many boulders must be pushed before that vision can be realised. We’ve been there too.
Our founders, Eric Chan and Calvin Ng, founded Aura in 2009 in the depths of the Global Financial Crisis. They were 26 and 27. They started Aura at a hot desk in Bondi Junction, as a corporate advisory for young startups. With hustle, determination and elbow grease, Aura Ventures now has $160M in funds under management and a long track record of strong performance.
None of this would have been possible were it not for the founders that we serve. While a lot has changed since then, our mission hasn’t. We exist to be the first believers in the companies of tomorrow.
