FlatMate Ventures

FlatMate Ventures is a student-run venture capital fund based in New Zealand. The organisation describes itself as New Zealand's first student-run venture capital fund, established by students to finance early-stage ventures founded by fellow students. Its remit is twofold: backing up-and-coming student-founded companies and connecting people interested in investing with those building new businesses.

The firm operates at the intersection of venture capital, early-stage investing and startup ecosystem development, with particular attention to student entrepreneurship. Beyond investment activity, it engages with the wider startup community and creates opportunities for participants to learn about venture capital and early-stage investing - a working model in which portfolio support and investor education sit alongside deployment of capital.

FlatMate Ventures' geographic focus is New Zealand. Investment terms, check size, portfolio composition, team size and specific support services are not publicly verified, and the founding year is not disclosed.
