CoAct Capital

Reflecting on 2024, we're reminded of the privilege we have to see some of the world’s biggest problems being tackled by passionate, innovative people, and how fortunate we are to play a part in that journey. To our portfolio companies DASH, Flippa.com, Vantari VR, and Diraq, thanks for having us with you on your journey, and for your impressive growth, energy, and achievements this year. We're delighted to have two new investments we will announce shortly, at Seed and Series A. To the startup ecosystem of VCs, Family Offices, Advisors, government-backed programs, and accelerators - thanks for your teamwork and support. When we gave CoAct its name, the 'Co' was in recognition of the importance of collaborating with you, and you've been one of the best parts of 2024. To our Investors, thanks for your support, trust in CoAct's Partners, and the wisdom you share from the businesses you’ve founded, grown, listed, advised, and chaired. 2025 brings much to look forward to, to get better at, and to hope for - both in the venture community and on a global level. For now, our sincere thanks for working with us, and very best wishes to you and your families for a safe and happy holiday season.

Congratulations to the whole team at DASH for the outstanding growth during FY24, and for your relentless focus on serving Advisors to help them make financial advice more accessible to Australians.

CoAct Capital is delighted to congratulate Diraq on their oversubscribed Series A-2 round, and to be an investor in the round. We're super impressed with the calibre of Andrew Dzurak and his entire team, their vision, patents and progress. Whilst quantum computing is a long game, Diraq's team are among the world's top talent, their spin silicon technology is well patented, their qubits are designed to fit millions per chip, testing in the early stages demonstrates 99.9% accuracy (refer recent announcement), and production can be delivered utilising existing semiconductor foundries like imec and Global Foundries (instead of requiring a new builds). From the team at CoAct Capital, outstanding work Diraq! We look forward to supporting your journey, and ultimately to the benefits that quantum will unlock.
