Uniseed has a commitment, through pre-seed and seed stage venture capital investment, to successfully commercialise the outcomes of Australian research and ingenuity from the University of Queensland, the University of Melbourne and the University of New South Wales.

It represents an important step in forging a link between academia and business that focuses on the commercialisation of innovative ideas and inventions for global consumption.

Uniseed has strong capabilities to package research outcomes from the academic research environment.

Uniseed began as a $20 million fund, founded by the Universities of Queensland and Melbourne. Since then, through investment commitment from Westscheme, Western Australia's largest non-government superannuation fund, the University of New South Wales and further investment from the founding Universities, the fund has grown to over $60 million.

Our Mission is to unlock the wealth-creating potential of Australian research on the basis that:

  • The key to Australian's economic prosperity lies in commercialisation of the outcomes of our research and ingenuity; and
  • The key to unlocking the wealth-creating potential in this research and ingenuity lies in adding commercial value through professional venture capital investment at the very earliest pre-seed and seed stages of the transformation of an idea or research finding into a commercial venture.

Uniseed makes intelligent investments at the earliest stages of a venture's formation and manages the development of research and ingenuity-based ventures to the point where they can secure substantial further investment from the investment community.
