Technology startup funding provider Tractor Ventures has moved to an all-women C-suite as Jodie Imam becomes CEO, alongside COO Aprill Enright and CFO Francine Hackett.

Previously co-founder Jodie Imam was co-CEO alongside co-founder Matt Allen – Enright is also a co-founder.

The Melbourne-headquartered alternative finance company for tech-enabled businesses has grown its loan book significantly over the past year as startups explore alternative funding routes beyond venture capital.

Tractor Ventures has distributed 250 loans since 2020, exceeding $70 million in capital disbursed, with an average loan size of around $350,000.

A Tractor Ventures spokesperson described the streamlined leadership structure as a “natural evolution in alignment and accountability” as the company also announced a newly formed senior leadership team, comprised of the C-suite, Allen as head of capital and new markets, plus director of engagement Garry Williams and director of engineering Matty Evans.
