About Alberts Impact Capital

Alberts Impact Capital is a venture capital business focused on scaling businesses that are working to create a better world.  We invest across 4 theme areas - arts, music & entertainment, environmental sustainability, mental health & well-being and women's sport.  Since launching in 2019, we have invested in 5 companies, all led by visionary founders.

While Alberts Impact Capital is new, it is a key part of Alberts, an independently owned fifth generation family business founded in 1885.  Alberts has played a vital role in the evolution of Australia’s media and popular culture since that time and is recognised for its contribution to the Australian music industry and its pioneering spirit. Alberts also includes the Tony Foundation, its philanthropic arm which aims to enable positive outcomes through music. For more information see www.alberts.co.

We’re a passionate down to earth team who believe loyalty and long-term relationships matter and that the pioneering Australian spirit can lead to extraordinary things.  This is an opportunity to get involved early and help to continue to shape Alberts and its vision for a culturally rich, creative and sustainable world.
