Capital unlocks change.
Everybody deserves the opportunity to accumulate wealth. But what's the way in?
You’ve been told time and time again that you need money to make money. It's all in who you know. It's your network as much as your net worth.
The reality is that this turns our world into a calculated and transactional place where the wealthy get wealthier and safe ventures enter a sea of the same.
Until now. Welcome to Vest, where anyone can back ventures and communities they believe in.
We tap into the power of communities to build trust, leverage expertise, and grow businesses from seed to series.
Here, you can invest cash, equity, or sweat equity. You can discover ventures and founders you believe in. You can put your own ideas up for fractional equity funding. You can build relationships with fellow founders, community members, and experts.

journey so far...
2016
Our first inception as an Australian startup directory
Within Josephmark spotlighting startups and ideas that put Australia on the map. Our purpose was to amplify startups to better connect them with investors, mentors and talent.
2019
Pivoted to an app to help venture studios
We saw a lot of startups have trouble raising capital. Either they couldn’t raise it, or they needed guidance on how to deploy it effectively when they did. This led to us exploring the intersection of venture and capital. We then pivoted to an app to help venture studios like us vet ideas and track incubated ventures at every stage of a venture lifecycle.
2020
Launched a branded white-label application
Based on feedback from the investor market, we launched a branded white-label app for family offices, VCs and angels. Many investment groups were manually tracking deals and communicating ineffectively through spreadsheets, emails and calls. Launched to paid pilot communities to continue iterating.
2021
Partnered with VentureCrowd
Partnered with leading multi-asset class crowdfunding platform VentureCrowd to expand our offering beyond community communication to end-to-end deal fulfilment. We joined forces through a joint-venture with aligned values around purposeful ventures that we first filter through the UN Sustainability Development Goals (SDG).
2023
Seeking special humans to join our journey
Based on feedback from the investor market, we launched a branded white-label app for family offices, VCs and angels. Many investment groups were manually tracking deals and communicating ineffectively through spreadsheets, emails and calls. Launched to paid pilot communities to continue iterating.
