Scalare's revenue rises from acquisition momentum
Scalare Partners sees 231% rise in revenue and positive cash flow, highlighting a strong acquisition strategy and integrated support ecosystem.
12 Feb 2026
ASX-listed tech investment and advisory firm Scalare Partners has posted a sharp jump in quarterly customer receipts and a return to positive operating cash flow, as its acquisition strategy and integrated founder support ecosystem begin to translate into measurable financial momentum.
In its quarterly update for the three months to December 31, Scalare's revenue receipts rose to $4.58 million, up 231 per cent from $1.38 million in the September quarter. The December quarter was the first to capture a full-period contribution from coworking and flexible workspace operator Tank Stream Labs and startup and scaleup advisory business Planet Startup, both acquired in 2025.
Operating cash flow swung to a positive $2.14 million, compared with a $1.52 million outflow in the previous quarter. The business ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $867,000.
Chief Executive Officer of Scalare, Carolyn Breeze, said the quarter marked a step forward in Scalare's ambition to build a commercially sustainable founder economy platform, combining technology investment with scale-up services, accelerator programs and ecosystem programs designed to support founders from idea to exit.
"For the first time, this quarter captures a full operational contribution from Tank Stream Labs and Planet Startup, enabling us to benefit from a recurring revenue base and margin uplift as these businesses are integrated into a unified commercial model," said Scalare.
Scalare's model sits at the intersection of venture capital, early-stage investment and founder services. The group positions itself as a technology investment and scale-up partner, backing early-stage technology companies while also providing practical support across finance, operations, marketing and governance. That combination is designed to lift customer lifetime value, strengthen sales efficiency and increase the pipeline of investment-ready companies within its network.
Scalare continued to realise revenue synergies across the group, with annualised synergy revenue now at $1.65 million, up from $842,000 reported in October. Those synergies include Planet Startup customers expanding into Tank Stream Labs' campuses as they hire and scale, and Tank Stream Labs members engaging Planet Startup for virtual and fractional CFO services such as budgeting, cashflow management and fundraising readiness.
