Our Story

Our purpose is to provide capital and hands-on support to ambitious founders & management teams of profitable SEQ businesses to unlock their next stage of growth.

In achieving its purpose, Growth Story Capital strongly adheres to 4 key values.

Straight Up

We believe in open, honest communication. In an industry where conflicting priorities exist between founders and investors, we bridge this gap to ensure all decisions are made in the best interest of all parties. We are open, honest and stick to our word.

Accountable

Accountability is at the core of our business, we have a duty to our investors, and portfolio companies which we take very seriously. We aren't afraid to accept feedback and incorporate this into doing and being better.

Pragmatic

We don't believe there is one right or wrong, there is always a solution to be found and we are willing to work to find the best solution that serves our stakeholders whilst leaving behind those that don't.

Energetic

We are young and ambitious. It's our belief that with a positive high energy attitude combined with not being afraid of asking for help, anything is possible.

WHY SOUTH EAST
QUEENSLAND?

Growth Story Capital was created to provide funding solutions and unique perspectives to problems that Founders face. We believe that if the portfolio company does well, then so do our investors and so do we, so that’s what we’re focused on.

A love for South East Queensland and all it has to offer has led to setting up Growth Story Capital.

We strive to make a positive impact with the companies we work with through energetic interactions, we’re fun to deal with and not afraid to roll our sleeves up and put in the work.

South East Queensland has gained a lot of momentum in recent years and now compares in many ways to Greater Sydney and Greater Melbourne. With the strongest interstate population growth and the upcoming 2032 Olympics, which will boost construction projects and tourism, the region is poised for even more growth.

Already over 55,000 businesses with more than 5 employees are based in Queensland, yet the local market for private equity firms remains underserved. By providing more capital and support to local growing businesses, we can help close the remaining economic gaps between Queensland and other capital regions. At Growth Story Capital, we’re excited to be a part of this journey and contribute to the growth of SEQ.
