Coreen Investments

Private investment for the long term.

Coreen Investments Pty Ltd is the corporate trustee of a private family trust, providing long-term stability, strategic oversight, capital allocation, and corporate alignment to the group. Coreen has been investing in technology and venture-related businesses since the early 2000s. Since 2012, it has invested actively across early-stage businesses, venture funds, listed equities, private capital, private equity, infrastructure, and property.

What we do

Patient capital, practical support.

Coreen invests private family capital across a portfolio built over more than two decades in technology and venture investing. We back capable founders at the early stage and hold positions in venture and other investment funds. Separately, we manage a diversified portfolio spanning listed equities and fixed income, private equity, private credit, real estate, infrastructure, and alternative assets.

Whilst we're not exclusively an impact investor, we make every effort to direct our investments to businesses that add value to the world.

We are not a fund and do not manage outside capital. Where we invest directly, we aim to be useful beyond the cheque. We bring real-world experience from building, scaling, and exiting Australian technology businesses.
