Where deals come from

Three sources. One pipeline.

Primary

Brisbane Angels

Australia's most active angel group - over 18 years, the group has invested in ~150 companies.
Notable exits include Clipchamp (acquired by Microsoft, 2021), Arkose Labs (Best Angel Investment Exit, 2020/21), and Doohly (acquired by Canva, 2026).

MooCoo manages Brisbane Angels operationally — running the deal flow, pitch events, screening and due diligence.

Network

Richard Moore

80+ personal angel investments since 2013. Australia's Most Active Angel Investor, three consecutive years (2020–2023). Brisbane Angels screening committee since 2015.

Deals routinely reach Richard through early-stage funds and founder communities before formal BA submission.

Network

Brian Cooke

30+ personal angel investments. Startup founder who took his company to ASX listing. Former partner in PwC's consulting practice. Significant M&A experience in the tech sector — adding value to founders and investors on pathway-to-exit strategy.

Surfaces a different deal profile: corporate carve-outs, post-merger spin-outs, and professional services intermediaries.

Founders presenting at a monthly pitch night

In the room

Three founders pitch every month.

Members and MooCoo investors hear directly from founders; the strongest then move through to due diligence.
