Practice areas

Six things we’re hired for.

Capital Structuring

Debt, equity, hybrid, and family-office introductions. Independent counsel on what to raise, when, and from whom — not transaction execution.

M&A Strategy & Introductions

Buy-side scouting, sell-side preparation, post-merger integration. We work alongside your bankers and lawyers, not in place of them.

CEO & Founder Mentorship

1:1 mentorship for founders from start-up through scale-up to listing. Practical, operator-led, on-the-record.

Public-listing Preparation

ASX, NZX, and JSE-ready governance, board composition, disclosure rhythm, investor-relations operating model.

Independent Directorships

X77 maintains a curated bench of independent directors with public-company and operating depth across sectors. We allocate the best-suited director from the network — the best-suited senior director from our network is matched to each brief based on sector, complexity, jurisdiction and language.

Strategic Reviews

For boards facing inflection points: capital constraint, growth plateau, succession, or sale-readiness.

What we are not. X77 Ventures is not a bank, broker-dealer, or licensed financial-services provider. We do not solicit deposits, manage external funds, hold an AFSL, FMA, or FSCA licence. Our advisory work is consultancy — strategic, governance, and operator counsel — engaged under standard commercial engagement letters.

Leads into

The Founder77 community.

Our 1:1 advisory work feeds into Founder77 — a curated CEO and founder community launching 14 November 2026. Peer-led, operator-grade, designed for founders running real businesses or with the strategy and funding locked to get there.
