Our Companies

'Courteous, transparent, and supportive.'

Dami Hastrup

Co-Founder and CEO

"1818 Venture Capital were courteous, transparent and supportive in our fundraise. We're looking forward to working alongside them as we continue to grow and scale MOONHUB."

'Friendly, reasonable and honest people.'

Chantal Epp

CEO and Founder, ClicknClear

"1818 Venture Capital are honestly one of the best VCs I have ever come across. They are friendly, reasonable and honest people who really care about the Founder. They are supportive in the ways you need them to be and are always looking out for connections they can make that might help your business. They are kind, collaborative and take a different approach to pitching Founders which I found to be far more inclusive than any other VC I've met."

'1818 are quite simply a superb firm to work with.'

James Lynn

Co-Founder and CEO

"1818 Venture Capital are quite simply a superb firm to work with. Extremely supportive, they provide genuine help for their portfolio companies along the journey, going above and beyond expectations. An extremely personable team to deal with, they strike the right balance between challenge and collaboration. They are selective in their investment choices and have a habit of picking the right companies - I would recommend any founder to take their investment if offered."

'Approachable, move quickly, and offer fair terms.'

Tatseng Chiam

Co-Founder and COO

"1818 Venture Capital has been a pleasure to deal with - they're approachable, move quickly (one of the reasons why we decided to go with them as our lead investor), offer fair terms, and have been a supportive investor since. 1818 provide a good balance between healthy questioning and challenge and giving the founding team autonomy and support to run the business. Definitely recommend them."

'Hugely helpful, kind and a real support.'

Rachael Crook

Founder and CEO

"Hugely helpful, kind and a real support. I have been delighted to have their backing. I would recommend them."
