We invest in domain experts building capital efficient technology companies

Domain Expertise

All of the low hanging fruit has been picked. We believe that the next wave of successful tech companies will be built by domain-experts tackling specialised problems in overlooked markets.

Efficient Entrepreneurship

The most consistent outcomes have come from efficient businesses. We look for companies that stay lean and obsess about their customers and longevity, not their investors.

Our work starts once we’ve invested. Just ask our portfolio

“D2 has been the number one partner for our company. Their team has provided us with valuable guidance and support as we navigate the challenges of growing a startup. They have also introduced us to key contacts and helped us make important connections in the industry from hiring to marketing.”

Justina T | Co-founder and CEO at ADSUM

Within first year of investment:

  • Sourced Head of Marketing
  • Provided Mezzanine lending facility
  • Ran product positioning workshop
"D2 came on board as one of our first investors and the support we've seen has been unmatched. They acted as a sounding board to us as founders throughout our journey so far, helped on hiring, introduced us to customers, and even introduced us to our eventual lead investor for the following round. We're extremely lucky to have D2 on our cap table.”

Alex L | Co-founder and CEO at Connect.Earth

Within first year of investment:

  • Introduced the lead investor and co-investor in following funding round
  • Provided Customer introductions
"A year on and D2 are still as supportive, diligent and candid with us since they first invested in us. As part of our cap table, they looked out for us as founders, regularly kept us tapped in to market movements and competitors, and provide a lot of helpful intros. They also were a good advocate for the rest of the cap table, often articulating concerns candidly and transparently."

Joseph U | Co-founder and CEO at LOMA

Within first year of investment:

  • Ran several G2M strategy workshops with the team
  • Provided pricing and contract structuring guidance
