Building Ventures That Last
We're not here to chase quick wins or flashy exits. syralionthex exists to help founders create sustainable businesses that solve real problems in the Australian market.
Since launching in 2019, we've worked with ambitious entrepreneurs who understand that real growth takes time, strategy, and the right financial foundation. Our approach blends practical venture building with honest financial guidance—because the best businesses are built on solid ground.
Why We Started syralionthex
The venture capital world felt broken. Too many founders were getting funding without the operational support they actually needed. And too many great ideas were dying because their financial structure was wrong from day one.
We launched syralionthex to bridge that gap. Our team spent years watching talented entrepreneurs struggle—not because their ideas were bad, but because they lacked the financial architecture and strategic guidance to scale properly.
So we built something different. A venture builder that treats finance as a core part of business building, not an afterthought. Where we roll up our sleeves and work alongside founders, rather than just writing checks and hoping for the best.
How We Work With Founders
Most accelerators give you three months and some mentorship. We're in it for the long haul—building financial systems, operational frameworks, and growth strategies that actually work in Australia's unique market.
Financial Architecture
We design funding structures that support sustainable growth. Cap tables, revenue models, burn rate management—the unglamorous stuff that keeps ventures alive.
Operational Systems
Building a business means building processes. We help founders establish workflows, metrics, and decision-making frameworks before chaos sets in.
Market Strategy
The Australian market has quirks. We help ventures navigate regulatory requirements, competitive landscapes, and customer acquisition channels that actually convert.
Meet Our Partners
We're a small team by design. Every person at syralionthex has built, scaled, or funded businesses before. We know what works because we've lived it—and made plenty of mistakes along the way.
Stellan Bergstrom
Managing Partner
Spent a decade in corporate finance before realizing he preferred working with founders who could move fast. Stellan focuses on capital structure and growth modeling.
Gregor Dempsey
Venture Strategist
Built and exited two SaaS companies in Sydney. Now he helps founders avoid the operational mistakes he made the first time around.
What Guides Our Work
Honest Conversations
If something won't work, we say so. Founders need truth, not cheerleading. We'd rather have difficult conversations early than watch ventures fail quietly.
Long-Term Thinking
Quick exits look good on paper. But we're more interested in businesses that will still be around in ten years—creating value, employing people, solving problems that matter.
Practical Support
Theory is easy. Implementation is hard. We show up when founders need help with the messy, unglamorous work of building something real.
Australian Focus
We know this market. The regulatory environment, the funding landscape, the customer behavior. That local knowledge helps ventures avoid costly mistakes.
