What is Ampere

We care about how
you lead, not your resume.

The best founders are defined by their psychology.  They think differently, long before they become unicorns.

How you think. How you interact. How you lead. We measure these things, and coach them.

We make investments based on the founder first, company second. No company is too early.

MEASURING MINDSET

We added science ‍to the part that matters most.

70% of investing comes down to the founder. Every early-stage investor will tell you that, and yet most of their judgement is based on gut feel.

We measure it instead.

We use psycholinguistics to measure 200 different mental traits, using a transcript of your interview. We share the data back with you too.

FOUNDERS BECOME LEADERS

Ask the founders
who've been in the room.

Being part of this accelerator with Christie Jenkins, a 3x pro athlete, has really lifted the bar for all of us. We've been coached as if we are elite athletes, to build the best businesses of our lives.

I've been able to spend the last three months with the most amazing group of people. I'll stay in touch with them forever.
Kirk Simmons
Briefcase
It's been a really special opportunity to be in a cohort with other founders on a similar journey. A lot of people are solo founders, so being able to share the struggles and share the wins has been awesome.

Our philosophy

Our 5 core beliefs.

01

Leadership is the core skill of a founder.

Technology evolves. Ideas pivot. Teams grow. Markets change. The founder is the constant throughout.

02

Being the first backer matters.

Our check allows founders to go full-time for the first time. To make their first hire. To accelerate their speed.

03

In-person is always better.

Our accelerator is in-person, and our events bring people together in physical spaces.

04

Backed in Australia. Building for the world.

Australia is the best place to get started. Then we help founders win on the world stage.

05

Outliers don't have a type.

We look beyond founder stereotypes, to mindset and more.
