Lincolne Ventures is an initiative of Robert and Carmen Lincolne. We build and back software businesses that can start in one market and scale into many, drawing on two careers spent in fintech, recruitment, operations and mentoring founders.
Robert and Carmen have built companies together across Australia, the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia. Between them they bring:
Building payments infrastructure that merchants and platforms rely on every day.
Finding, placing and growing technical talent across borders.
Turning early traction into teams, processes and companies that run well.
Working alongside founders on strategy, fundraising and the hard parts in between.
We still build. Most of our ventures start as something we wanted to use ourselves.
We look for ideas that work in more than one country and grow without growing headcount at the same rate.
