Building Financial Futures Through Real Experience

We started quarivaxent in 2019 because too many bright entrepreneurs were making avoidable financial mistakes. Our team has walked the startup path—we've raised capital, managed cash flow crises, and learned what works in Australian business conditions.

Why We're Different

Most financial education feels disconnected from reality. You get theory, but miss the messy details that matter when you're actually running a business.

Our approach comes from necessity. When I was building my second startup in 2018, I couldn't find practical guidance on managing pre-revenue expenses while courting investors. The advice was either too academic or too basic.

That gap became our mission. We focus on the financial decisions that keep founders awake at night—cash flow timing, equity dilution strategies, and scaling without burning through runway too quickly.

Since launching, we've worked with over 200 Australian startups. Each engagement teaches us something new about what entrepreneurs actually need to succeed.

What Drives Our Work

Practical Over Perfect

We'd rather give you a solution that works in your specific situation than a textbook answer that sounds impressive but doesn't help.

Real Stories

Every lesson we teach comes from actual startup experiences. When we explain cash flow management, we use examples from companies that have been through multiple funding rounds. Our case studies feature real decisions and their consequences.

Australian Context

Startup advice from Silicon Valley doesn't always translate. We understand ASIC requirements, R&D tax incentives, and local investor expectations.

Long-term Thinking

Quick wins matter, but we focus on financial strategies that serve you through multiple growth phases and market changes.
