Investment Thesis with Kali Norman
About Dan Coughlan
Dan Coughlan is a Principal at AirTree Ventures, the Sydney venture capital firm, which he joined in 2021. He invests across stages, spending much of his time with founders in AirTree's portfolio and with entrepreneurs the firm is considering backing.
Before AirTree he worked at an investment bank, covering publicly listed software companies. That work gave him a close view of what makes scaled technology businesses succeed and led him to move closer to founders at an earlier stage.
On Investment Thesis with Kali Norman, he explained how his own investment thesis has formed and how he applies it.
