Our Beginnnigs
Divergent Capital was founded in Sydney Australia in 1999 as a sister company of managed services provider BlueFire Corporation. At the time Divergent was called BlueFire Innovation and was co-founded by BlueFire founder Ryan Glick together with Adam Pozniak, Kamal Sarma & David Nelson.
In 2003 the business was separated from BlueFire Corporation and became a stand-alone independent investment fund which today is owned entirely by the management team Nelson and Glick.
Since its beginnings Divergent has invested approximately $10M into 15 companies. Today a few of these have been sold successfully (approx $50M), a few have failed, a few are performing well, and a few are breaking even while they gain traction. With operations in Australia, USA and Europe, Divergent’s portfolio companies are world leaders in their chosen fields with significant growing revenues.
Today Divergent is a leading source of early stage funding for information technology businesses and remains among the most active investors in this space.
