Introducing 1941.

A joint initiative of Bondi Partners and Ellerston Capital.

Overview.

1941 helps Australian and U.S. businesses harness the world-leading expertise and resources needed to deliver innovative technologies and products that address national security challenges now and into the future.

The Fund is a joint initiative of Bondi Partners and Ellerston Capital which identifies, invests in and helps grow the next generation of Australian and U.S. success stories – focused on national security dual-use businesses and technologies – across both sides of the Pacific Ocean.

1941 focuses on early-stage private businesses and select investments in later-stage businesses and listed growth companies, particularly in the defence, intelligence, cyber and space industries, and other dual-use businesses with a commercial application to the national security sector.

National security is a cornerstone of the Australia-U.S. relationship. Ever since Australian Prime Minister John Curtin turned towards the U.S. for defence support in 1941, the relationship between Australia and the U.S. has continued to grow. In 2021, 80 years after this momentous decision, we have seen the importance of the alliance between Australia and the U.S. prosper with the formation of AUKUS.

1941 is the investment opportunity in national security.

Fleet has a growing blue chip customer base, including Rio Tinto, Barrick Gold, Iluka, AngloGold and Core Lithium. In 2023, the company also won an Australian Defence contract to demonstrate a low earth orbit satellite communication system with focus on tactical voice and data transmission.

Internet 2.0

Internet 2.0 is an early stage cyber-security company providing military-grade cyber protection, data capture, and consulting services to deal with cyber threats.

Well regarded by the Australian and U.S. governments, we believe that with 1941’s support Internet 2.0 will be able to successfully navigate the cyber market and commercialize its solutions to continue its growth path.

With You With Me

Founded by an ex-military veteran, WithYouWithMe started as a talent incubation program to develop and transition military members back to the industry and has now evolved to an end-to-end enterprise software that enables organisations to discover the potential in people, train digital skills, deploy the right talent and grow digital capability.

With the chronic shortage of tech skills globally, and the ability to retrain military veterans for trusted national security roles, 1941 believes WYWM can benefit naturally from growing government and national security related staffing needs.
