About Craig Blair
Craig Blair brings a rare combination of founder-operator experience (having built and sold multiple tech companies including Travelselect to lastminute.com) and deep engineering background from major infrastructure projects like Sydney's Anzac Bridge, giving him a builder's mindset rather than a purely financial approach to investing. He's built his career as an international market launcher for tech companies and maintains a deliberately contrarian investing philosophy, actively avoiding herd mentality while keeping AirTree's funds regionally focused on Australia and New Zealand because he believes venture alpha comes from local network depth rather than scale for its own sake.
