Precision Capital for Category Defining Innovation 

Arconic is a specialist technology manager for the AI-native era. We build, partner and invest in emerging leaders with global potential.

What makes us different

Growth doesn’t happen from one factor alone—it’s the interaction of internal and external drivers that creates exponential results. Most people only see a paradigm shift after the fact,
not the steps taken to get there. At Arconic, we focus on the delta. We have cultivated a unique set of capabilities to help our partners scale and maximise prospects for our investors.  

We invest across AI, fintech, and next-generation software—supporting bold, high-potential businesses that are solving meaningful problems. While our roots are local, we back founders across all investment stages with the ambition and ability to scale globally. 

Partnership and founder led

We cultivate enduring relationships with founders and key stakeholders—offering more than capital through collaborative, value-add support—and commit to being the first cheque in your corner.

AI led approach to VC

We are building Australia’s most complete data base into the Australian start up landscape compromising of founders, operators, VC, companies etc, to power a series of AI agents and MCPs to redefine what VC looks like in the this new age.

Strategic Networks Accelerating Growth

Our extensive network connects portfolio companies with industry leaders, strategic partners, and seasoned operators to fuel rapid expansion.

Thematic Capital Underwriting Theses

We build focused investment themes that go beyond founders’ vision, backing deep, thesis-driven opportunities with conviction and discipline.

Patient, Flexible Multi-Stage Capital

We partner with founders across every stage, providing tailored capital injections and optional continuation strategies to support long-term growth.

Team and Experience

Lighthouse AI

Lighthouse Data: Always-On Startup Intelligence


Arconic’s Lighthouse Data platform continuously captures and refreshes important signals across the startup ecosystem — tracking founders, companies, funding activity, hiring trends, and market momentum.

We gather both structured and unstructured data — from early team formation and hiring, to product launches, funding rounds, customer traction, and media coverage. This includes information about founders, companies, investors, and key events that show how startups are growing and moving.

This real-time data layer powers the AI agents and MCPs (Model-Centric Processes) we are building — helping us source opportunities faster, evaluate startups more intelligently, and stay ahead of market trends. Lighthouse moves beyond static CRM systems, creating workflows that learn, improve, and give us a lasting advantage.
