Most government relations advice comes from people who understand politics but not startups, or startups but not politics. We understand both, and we move at the pace founders need.
Venture Affairs is Australia's first and only lobbying firm dedicated exclusively to nation-shaping founders and early-stage technology.
Government is the largest customer, investor and regulator in the economy, yet the companies that will define Australia's future are the least equipped to engage it. Incumbents have armies of lobbyists. The founders building frontier technology have had none, at exactly the moment it matters most.
We exist to close that gap, and to give those founders the relationships, representation and strategy that until now only large corporates could afford.
Nicholas spent a decade across Federal and State government, including as Chief of Staff to the NSW Deputy Opposition Leader, before becoming Head of Government Affairs at Vow, one of Australia's most prominent deep tech startups.
