The 🚜 is accelerating! Massive thanks to our newest backers and portfolio companies. We’re building a super flexible investment vehicle over here. A strong balance sheet, amazing backers and a team like no other. Building a solid tech company? We’d love to talk.
It’s been less than seven months since Tractor Ventures launched, but already its done 13 deals and has commenced its second capital raise.

Thinking of raising capital? Watch this.
“The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing founders to measure their ambition based on how much they raise and at what valuation” More from me on the symbiosis of ambition and the indie approach to building the next wave of category defining companies.

Very pleased to be spending Saturday arvo listening to my new turntable and a tiny cross selection of albums that are meaningful to me. Steaming straight to Sonos is magical.

Anyone every thought of building a wearable called a Shitbit? It zaps you when you fail at the thing you’re trying to do and opens the app to remind you how much you suck.

Quoting myself so you don't miss out. Come hang with the other internet randos with @napper and I in Cremorne on the 21st. I'll make @gwilliamsALTS give one of you a Lego Tractor and a Play Bigger book if you turn up and ask him for a selfie and put it in this thread.
