Scalare Partners Acquires Inhouse Ventures

Scalare Partners, a leading technology accelerator, announces the acquisition of Inhouse Ventures Pty Ltd , a leading platform for scalable technology startups.

Founded by Elliot Spiegel in June 2022, Inhouse Ventures has rapidly established itself as one of Australia’s premier platforms for technology founders. IHV’s mission is to accelerate founders at critical stages of their growth journey, providing tailored solutions to support fundraising, scaling, and business development.

Scalare initially invested in IHV in November 2023, acquiring a 20.7% stake. With this acquisition, Scalare will own 100% of IHV, fully integrating its offerings into the Scalare ecosystem.

Strategic Rationale

IHV is an Australian based online marketplace for technology company founders to connect with investors for the purpose of building, scaling and fundraising within the Australian startup ecosystem. IHV’s customers are early-stage technology companies looking to connect to potential investors to help fund their company growth plans.

Scalare does not currently provide this service and through this acquisition will be able to provide this as an additional service it can offer to its existing client base and the wider Australian early-stage technology ecosystem.

Scalare brings the IHV business CEO and founder, Elliot Spiegel into the Scalare group of companies through this acquisition, as Inhouse Venture’s aligns with Scalare’s business model, and the team has a strong cultural fit with the Company’s.

This acquisition is expected to lead to an increase in Scalare’s revenue through an expanded service offering and access to more customers.

The acquisition unlocks new revenue opportunities for Scalare by broadening its service offering and increasing its reach within the early-stage technology sector. This move aligns with Scalare’s long-term vision of becoming a leading accelerator and ecosystem partner for technology founders.

“This acquisition represents an exciting step forward for Scalare. Inhouse Ventures has built an impressive platform that aligns perfectly with our mission of supporting technology founders at every stage of their journey. We look forward to working with Elliot and the IHV team to drive even greater impact in the startup ecosystem.” — Carolyn Breeze, CEO, Scalare Partners

“Joining forces with Scalare Partners is a natural evolution for Inhouse Ventures. Our platform and services complement Scalare’s mission, and together we will be able to offer even greater support to founders looking to scale their businesses. I’m thrilled to continue leading IHV and look forward to what we can achieve together.” — Elliot Spiegel, CEO & Founder, Inhouse Ventures

Scalare's Expansion Strategy: Ongoing Acquisitions

IHV marks Scalare’s third acquisition, following the Australian Technologies Competition (ATC) in April 2023 and Tech Ready Women (TRW) in April 2024.

As part of its growth strategy, Scalare will continue exploring acquisition opportunities to enhance its ecosystem of products and services for early-stage technology businesses.

This will include adding complementary offerings to its internally developed solutions, as well as acquiring third-party holdings in companies that align with Scalare’s investment profile. Each acquisition will be subject to Scalare’s rigorous investment committee evaluation and due diligence processes.

By maintaining a disciplined approach to acquisitions, Scalare is committed to strengthening its position in the tech ecosystem while supporting the founders and businesses it brings into its portfolio.
