Sydney Founders Coffee Meet-up - Gandel Invest x Antler X Black Nova

​We’re back with our monthly Founder Coffee Catch-Ups, this time in Sydney in collaboration with Antler and Black Nova, focused on founders planning to raise in 2026.

​If you’re starting to think about fundraising and building momentum in the new year, this is a great chance to connect directly with Gandel Invest. Come share what you’re building, ask questions, and get real-time feedback, all over a good cup of coffee.

​You’ll also meet other founders in a relaxed small-group setting designed to spark genuine conversations and connections.

​Spots are limited to 20 founders to keep things intimate!

​Coffee’s on us. ☕

​About Gandel Invest:

​Gandel Invest is a family office with an international mandate and a portfolio of 50+ companies. We back innovative businesses that are reshaping industries and focus on building strong, long-term relationships with founders, teams, and co-investors. Beyond capital, we look to be a thoughtful partner and provide support where it’s most meaningful as companies scale.

​About Antler:

​Antler is a global VC focused on inception and early-stage investing, backing founders from day zero. It partners with ambitious entrepreneurs at the earliest stages to build, validate, and scale high-growth companies worldwide.

​About Black Nova VC:

​Black Nova VC is a Sydney-based operator-led venture capital fund backing early-stage B2B technology founders across Australia and New Zealand. We invest in companies solving genuinely hard, often unglamorous problems, where a real competitive moat compounds over time. Having built and scaled companies ourselves, we lean in alongside founders on the work that actually moves the needle, from go-to-market and hiring to early sales motions and the unglamorous operational grind of getting to product-market fit. When founders need us in the trenches, we are there.
