Advance VC

Investor

Australia’s first VC fund of funds with a focus on secondaries

Advance VC, led by Max Kausman, is a VC fund of funds focusing on secondaries.

They buy interests in VC funds from investors and fund managers seeking liquidity. In doing so, they access Australia’s premier VC assets at a discount, delivering superior risk-adjusted returns in faster timeframes.

Advance VC received a $300,000 grant from LaunchVic to establish in Victoria in early 2025.
