OPEN TO WHOLESALE INVESTORS ONLY

An asset class that is high-growth, high-impact, and local

We believe the entrepreneurs and innovations here in New Zealand have the power to shape a brighter future. Globally recognised Kiwi tech companies like Rocket Lab, LanzaTech, Pushpay, and Xero have already paved the way—blazing trails, nurturing talent, and creating a blueprint for the next generation of founders.

Icehouse Ventures is Aotearoa New Zealand’s leading early-stage venture investor, with a proud history of backing exceptional Kiwi founders building generation-defining tech companies, like global ed-tech leader Crimson Education, ag-tech innovator Halter, and all-in-one tax and accounting app Hnry.

Our funds offer investors a unique opportunity to diversify their portfolios with an asset class traditionally inaccessible to non-institutional investors, access deal flow from New Zealand’s most active venture investor, and participate in a high-growth, impactful, and aspirational local asset class.

Over the past 23 years, we’ve been early supporters of more than 340 companies, investing over $500m to date. Our investor community is over 2,800 strong, including Simplicity, Pie Funds, Generate KiwiSaver, Hobson Wealth, Craigs Investment Partners, Harbour Asset Management, Sir Stephen Tindall's K1W1, and more than 1,800 other family offices and individual investors.

Join us in backing the next generation of Kiwi founders building global tech companies.
