Australia’s first solo female general partner and founder of the country’s first dedicated pre-seed fund.

Her dedication to early-stage founders comes from lived experience—she’s built and co-founded startups, invested as an angel in both Australia and the US, and launched Co Lab to give first-time founders and senior execs access to world-class coaches.

She’s studied and taught at places like Stanford, Macquarie, Oxford, and Copenhagen, but it’s her work side-by-side with founders that defines her. Maxine is known for her conviction at the earliest stage and her relentless support of the people building generational companies.
