Fund History

AirTree is an Australian manager, so it files no SEC Form D offering documents and its fund sizes are not in the US public record. The firm's own accounting, published on its about page, is five fund vintages since 2014 and $2 billion in funds under management, deployed across more than 140 portfolio companies in Australia and New Zealand. The mandate starts at seed, where the firm explicitly underwrites potential over current form, and follows on through later rounds, which is how early positions in Canva, SafetyCulture, Linktree and Deputy compounded. AirTree also runs a Frontier program and an Open Source VC initiative that publishes firm material openly, an unusual disclosure posture for a fund of its size. Capital formation is a named function rather than a partner side task: Leo Pinto heads it and Katie Chan heads fund finance, the staffing pattern of a firm raising institutional vintages on a regular cadence.

A Form D is the notice a fund files with the SEC when it raises money in a private offering. Feeder funds, parallel funds and SPVs each file their own, so the count measures filing activity, not the number of flagship funds.
