Capital for Entrepreneurs,

By Entrepreneurs.

Coogee Capital backs established businesses across Australia and New Zealand.

We invest alongside founders and management teams, then get to work on the things that matter inside the business - people, systems, growth and the decisions that come with it.

We’ve built and run businesses ourselves. We know plans change, hires don’t always work and growth rarely happens in a straight line.

Speak with us

We work with businesses in a range of situations from backing a founder who wants to keep growing, to buying a business outright when they’re ready to step away.

We stay close to the businesses we back and keep the portfolio deliberately small so we can be useful when it matters.

The best way to understand how we work is to hear it from the people we’ve worked alongside.

Boards re-think investor updates as market volatility increases

3 March 2026

As market volatility intensifies and algorithmic trading plays a larger role in price discovery, boards are rethinking how they communicate with investors. Even minor earnings misses can trigger sharp share price reactions, prompting directors to take a more measured approach to guidance and disclosures. Increasingly, investors are seeking evidence of disciplined governance, thoughtful capital allocation and a credible response to technological change - particularly around AI.

Speaking ahead of the AFR Business Summit, David Baxby noted that while the focus is often on listed markets, the underlying imperative applies broadly: companies must balance transparency with realism, and short-term market expectations with long-term strategic positioning.
