David Parfett

I am an Operating Principal at AirTree Ventures, a leading venture capital firm that invests in early and growth stage technology companies in Australia and New Zealand. With 17 years of strategy, investment and operating experience across a range of industries, business models and growth stages, I have a deep understanding of the opportunities and challenges faced by entrepreneurs and investors in the region. I am passionate about supporting founders and operators who are building disruptive and impactful solutions for our future. As a board member and the lead investor across 10+ portfolio companies, such as Employment Hero, Edrolo, DesignCrowd, HotDoc, and Spaceship, I provide strategic guidance, operational support, and network access to help them grow, scale, secure investment and exit.
