We back Sri Lankan
founders building
the future with AI
VisionX Ventures invests in early-stage Sri Lankan startups leveraging large language models and AI to build global products. Capital, market access, and hands-on expertise — from founders who understand both worlds.
Conviction at the
intersection of
talent and technology
We invest where world-class Sri Lankan engineering talent meets the most transformative technology shift of our generation. Our thesis is simple: the best AI companies of tomorrow are being built today in Sri Lanka.
World-class talent, global ambition
Sri Lanka produces exceptional engineering talent — disciplined, creative, and hungry to build. With a cost structure that enables longer runways and a culture of resilience, Sri Lankan founders are uniquely positioned to build capital-efficient, globally competitive AI companies.
The biggest shift since the internet
Large language models are fundamentally reshaping how software is built, how businesses operate, and how humans interact with technology. We believe the next wave of transformative companies will be built on LLM infrastructure — and the best founders are already building.
Founders who understand both worlds
VisionX is built by Australian-Sri Lankan founders who are already shipping AI products. We don't just write cheques — we bring deep product expertise, direct access to Australian and APAC enterprise markets, and the cultural fluency to bridge Colombo and Melbourne.
More than capital.
A launchpad to
global markets.
Pre-seed & Seed Funding
We provide early-stage capital to help Sri Lankan AI founders go from idea to product-market fit. Our cheque sizes are calibrated for the Sri Lankan ecosystem — meaningful enough to accelerate, disciplined enough to maintain focus.
Gateway to Australia & APAC
Our Melbourne base gives portfolio companies a direct bridge to Australian enterprise customers and the broader APAC market. We open doors that would otherwise take years to find — from introductions to go-to-market strategy.
Hands-on AI Product Support
We're not passive investors. VisionX is built by founders who ship AI products daily. We bring deep technical expertise in LLM architecture, prompt engineering, product design, and the operational playbook for scaling AI-native companies.
Enterprise Connections
Access our network of Australian enterprise decision-makers, technology leaders, and industry partners. We connect our portfolio companies with customers, collaborators, and co-investors across the APAC region.
What we
look for
We have a clear thesis and we stick to it. If you're building something that fits these criteria, we want to hear from you.
Sri Lankan founding team
Or a strong Sri Lankan connection — we invest in founders who understand the ecosystem and can build world-class teams in Sri Lanka.
LLMs or AI at the core
Not AI as a feature — AI as the foundation. We back companies where large language models or artificial intelligence is central to the product and value proposition.
Global ambition
We're looking for founders who think beyond the local market from day one. Build in Sri Lanka, sell to the world.
Early stage: pre-seed to seed
We invest at the earliest stages — from idea to early revenue. We want to be your first institutional partner.
Any sector, as long as AI is central
Construction tech, fintech, healthtech, edtech, SaaS, developer tools — the sector doesn't matter. What matters is that LLMs are the engine, not the garnish.
Building the
next generation
We're actively deploying capital into exceptional Sri Lankan AI startups. Our portfolio is being built — and we're looking for the founders who will define it.
