Srdjan Dangubic

Srdjan Dangubic is a Partner at Five V Capital in Sydney. Five V’s own team page says he joined the firm in 2016 and works across growth and buyout investing, partnering with founders and management teams to scale businesses across the Asia Pacific region.

Before Five V, Dangubic was a Director at CVC Capital Partners, working across the firm’s Australian and Hong Kong offices. Earlier in his career, he held investment and advisory roles at Macquarie Bank. Five V states that he holds a Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Western Australia; his public LinkedIn profile also lists INSEAD.

Dangubic is one of Five V’s senior principals. Pinnacle Investment Management’s 2021 announcement described Five V as led by Adrian MacKenzie and Srdjan Dangubic, and said Pinnacle agreed to invest A$65 million for a 25% stake in Five V, with a further A$10 million contingent on a second venture-capital fundraising. Five V’s Horizons Fund page now describes the firm as managing approximately A$3.4 billion of investments with 70+ people in Sydney and Auckland.

His deal experience includes founder-led growth and succession transactions. In a 2024 Livewire Markets interview, Dangubic said Five V had built around the opportunity created by generational wealth transfer, noting that many of the firm’s investments had been partnerships with founder-owners looking for succession, estate-planning, or partial exit solutions.

• Five V’s core private equity approach is partnership with Australia and New Zealand founders, managers, and owners; the firm says it backs businesses with “unique and differentiated capability” and a “track-record of growth.”
• For private equity, Five V provides flexible capital for significant minority through majority positions, typically A$30-100 million of equity.
• For venture capital, Five V says it invests at Series A and Series B in startups that have reached product-market fit and are ready to scale.
• Five V’s venture strategy targets initial investments of $1 million to $10 million and can invest up to $20 million across multiple rounds.
• The firm’s stated VC sector focus is software powering the future of business, commonly B2B SaaS, while remaining open to all sectors where founders are pursuing large addressable markets and strong unit economics.
• Dangubic’s own framing emphasizes founder transition and succession: he told Livewire that founder exits are “unlocking a great flow of investible opportunities in high-quality assets.”
• Five V looks for alignment: the firm says its team are among the largest investors in its funds and that it commits significant personal capital alongside portfolio companies.
