We’ve simplified online direct investment into New Zealand companies

Since launching in 2014, we’ve been changing the investment landscape in New Zealand, helping 68 companies raise more than $106m of capital.

Growth companies with global ambitions

“The number of New Zealand companies seeking private capital is larger than the amount of private equity available from New Zealand firms… New Zealand is part of a wider, Australasian mid-market PE group, with strong interest from both foreign and domestic businesses.”

Stages of growth

Snowball Effect works with New Zealand companies throughout the growth cycle. Investors on Snowball Effect often invest in companies at different stages according to their investment preferences and risk tolerance.

  • Startup stage

    We facilitate private offers for young companies that have already commenced revenue-generating activity and have demonstrable traction in the market. These are the types of offers that meet the angel and venture capital fund criteria.

  • Growth stage

    Medium-stage growth companies often utilise private offers to fund growth initiatives such as production expansion, exporting, and marketing. There are sorts of offers that private equity firms and family offices invest into.

  • Established companies

    We facilitate secondary offerings such as rights issues for more mature companies. We can also assist with IPO distribution. Snowball Effect investors have access to offers that might otherwise only be available to institutional investors.
