We Invest. We Build.
Caerus is a Venture Capital Fund which sits at the intersection of where creators, talent and IP owners meet capital, technology and change makers. We back and build the next generation of platforms, services and applications which feed our cultural passions and position creators and consumers at the heart of these new enterprises.
Why We Do It
Our mission is to create more of what matters most: Culture.
Humans strive for connection. Culture is how we connect.
We Are Culture.
We believe that creators and communities deserve better. Our purpose is to enable them to realise the true value of their impact, reach, and influence. We want to empower them with the tools and resources they need to thrive in our rapidly changing world.
What We Do
We transform today’s bold ideas into tomorrow’s success stories.
Our Venture Fund makes early stage investments aligned to our convictions and thesis. Our Venture Lab seeks to build category defining enterprises around those who command highly engaged communities of consumers at scale.
​
We are hyper-focused on one domain: Culture - Music, Sports and Entertainment.
How We Do It
First, we have unparalleled access to creators who command communities of consumers at scale. This gives us a unique advantage in attracting founders who want us on their cap table. We can integrate our portfolio companies with these creators to drive adoption and remove the biggest barrier to success - traction.
​
Second, we are deep in tech. As early investors, adopters, and evangelists of the new internet, we know the technology inside and out. This expertise attracts creators who want our help solving their business problems and building or investing in solutions. Our track record speaks for itself - we have decades of experience investing in both public and private markets, helping businesses scale to unicorn status.
Who We Are
We are a collective of operators, founders, and investors with over four decades of industry expertise. We hail from different cultures and backgrounds, from scrappy startups to blue chip publicly listed companies in culture, finance, and technology. But above all, we are friends and colleagues bound by a shared love for culture and a belief that it can be transformed for the better.
