Dragonflies are a natural indicator for a healthy local ecosystem. Thriving dragonfly populations signal clean water and a balanced environment.
We hope that we will continue to see Dragonflies through our lifetime and into the lifetimes of our children.

In Natural Capital, we believe that leveraging Australia’s burgeoning biodiversity offset regimes provides a unique opportunity to take a lead in delivering ecosystem recovery.
Nature Positive Urbanism represents the combination of our expertise in development, urban planning and natural capital to meet Australia’s urgent housing requirements without compromising on quality, impact or liveability.

Our History
Nigel Sharp founded Dragonfly in 2017, after many years of working at the intersection of property, conservation, and impact. He saw a clear need for a different kind of investment approach, one that backed people with the courage and capability to lead meaningful change.
Dragonfly was created to invest in and support exceptional founders and operators, always with the intention of delivering strong returns while restoring our relationship with the natural world.
Our mission remains the same: to ensure capital plays a constructive role in shaping a better, fairer, and more nature-positive future.
