Our Story
Empowering Founders to Raise Capital with Confidence.
Capital raising can feel like an uphill battle. We get it. That’s why CapXcentric was built—to empower you to lead your raise, access the right resources, and focus on what matters most: building your business.
Meet Warwick Donaldson
Capital Nerd and Founder Advocate.
I’m Warwick Donaldson, founder and managing director of CapXcentric—an unapologetic startup nerd and no-BS advocate for Aussie founders. I’ve helped shape capital raises from all sides of the fence—representing VCs, family offices, angel investors, and Australia’s top startups."
​
I founded CapXcentric because the knowledge gap in startup capital raising is too great. I believe founders deserve the same level of insight and access as the investors they’re pitching to—and I’m here to help close that gap.
