Paloma Group is the leading venture studio in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), operating as a three-pronged business: Paloma Ventures (venture studio), Paloma Digital (digital product agency), and Paloma Capital (venture capital fund). Founded in 2014 as Dovetail and rebranded to Paloma in 2022, the organization has built a 100+ person team that has forged an AUD $250M+ venture portfolio and helped steer firms like Afterpay to billion-dollar acquisitions. The venture studio partners with exceptional founders to transform novel ideas into high-growth companies, working shoulder-to-shoulder with early-stage founders from day one to establish product-market fit and gain substantial traction. Paloma's unique model combines infrastructure for company creation with venture capital, providing founders both a higher probability of success and a faster start. The name 'Paloma' means 'Dove' in Spanish, honoring the origins of Dovetail while evolving the brand. The team are first and foremost operators, working in the trenches building and scaling new companies from raw ideas through to launch and high growth. Portfolio companies take an average of 20 months to hit $1M ARR - roughly half the industry benchmark. The studio is industry agnostic but focuses on venture-scale businesses in large or growing markets that are tech or tech-enabled, with particular interest in industries underserved by technology and GenAI-enabled businesses.
