At NZGCP you will be part of something bigger. We are Aotearoa’s government backed fund, investing for early-stage business growth, helping to catalyse private investment to build and grow New Zealand’s emerging start-up ecosystem. We’re here to support Kiwi entrepreneurs and bold companies to innovate and grow into global successes and to help New Zealand investors be world class. It takes a village to raise a child – and we believe it’s the same in business. That’s why we partner with other investors with aspirations of achieving great things to give Kiwi innovators the leg up they need to succeed.
From the investments we make to the people who have chosen to join our world class team, our business is grounded in three cornerstone beliefs: Delivering diversity, Doing things right, Achieving greatness through collaboration.
Our two investment vehicles are designed to stimulate private investment through fund of funds and co-investment models. Our market development mandate means we seek to partner and collaborate with a wide range of Government bodies and private investors to help develop the early-stage New Zealand investment market and ultimately help early-stage New Zealand companies grow. Some of the exciting companies we’ve invested in include Kami, Parkable, Tradify, AskNicely, LawVu, Rockitt and Sunfed. Our Elevate Fund has invested in six New Zealand venture capital funds so far, catalysing almost $600 million of capital to invest in startups at the Series A stage and beyond.
