Thesis Thoughts
THE ROCKET ADVOCATE
Where VCs Share Their Brilliant Insights Just Before They Invest In The Opposite
The Thesis Thoughts section of The Rocket Advocate offers a rare glimpse into the contradictory, ever-shifting investment theses of Queensland's venture capital community. Like watching a weather forecast delivered by someone looking out the wrong window, our VC thesis coverage provides entertainment and occasional accidental accuracy. Here's what you'll find:
THE CRYSTAL BALL CHRONICLES
In-depth examinations of what Queensland VCs claim to be investing in for the next decade, meticulously archived so we can refer back to it when they invest in completely unrelated industries six months later. We track how often "deep tech" enthusiasts end up funding another food delivery app.
THESIS VERSUS REALITY
Our popular side-by-side comparison showing what VCs say they're looking for versus what they actually fund. Marvel at the cognitive dissonance between the Medium post explaining why B2C marketplaces are dead and the subsequent Series A investment in a B2C marketplace for artisanal dog treats.
BANDWAGON BAROMETER
Tracking which technologies, sectors, and buzzwords are currently mandatory in Queensland pitch decks. Updated weekly as VCs swing wildly from "AI is overhyped" to "every company must be AI-first" based on whatever TechCrunch article appeared in their inbox that morning.
THE CONTRARIAN CORNER
Featured essays from Queensland VCs explaining their boldly contrarian investment strategies, which mysteriously align with what every other fund announced the previous quarter. Special attention paid to those claiming to be "founder-friendly" while demanding 3x liquidation preferences.
THESIS ORIGIN STORIES
Investigative reporting on how investment theses are actually formed, from "I read this in a Sequoia partner's tweet" to "My nephew is really into this" to the ever-popular "A competing fund just announced a big exit in this space."
The Rocket Advocate: Where we document Queensland VC theses with the same commitment to consistency that they do.
