Franko Ali

My role is devoted to telling stories, building connections and uplifting Airtree’s impact across the entire ANZ ecosystem. I lead Airtree’s communications, content, brand, and marketing efforts on behalf of the firm, partnership, and in support of our growing portfolio of iconic technology companies.

I've spent over 10 years building and growing brands, operations, products and content in startups, media and publishing, including four years in the Venture Capital sector. As a San Francisco transplant in Sydney, I am an active contributor and supporter of the global startup community.

An idea I’d invest in tomorrow

There is massive potential for technology which reduces the distance between our physical and digital selves. The approaching platform shift toward AR will make our smartphones feel like rotary phones, as an entirely new hardware and application layer emerge. Software on this frontier feels promising.

What I nerd out over

With the algorithms flattening our taste and culture, I put a conscious effort to inject randomness into my information and entertainment diet. If you have a maximally niche YouTube reccommendation or a favourite artist with >1000 streams on Spotify, I’d love to hear!

Why tech and startups excite me

I delight in identifying and spending time around kindred spirits — people who thrive on creating, remixing, building, challenging, and improving the world. When I left SF, I probably took that kind of energy for granted. So I’ve made it a personal mission to seek it out here in ANZ.
