Our mission is to be transformative investors in transformative Kiwi companies. We have invested >$500m into >350 companies, including Halter, Crimson, Education, Sharesies, Partly, Hnry, Dawn Aerospace, Tracksuit, Mint Innovation, Tradify, OpenStar, Shuttlerock, Ethique, Basis, Fuel50, Spalk, Substack, Nuro, and PowerbyProxi.

We’re on a mission to unlock more productive and sustainable agriculture. Farmers are using Halter to break free from the time-intensive constraints of conventional farming. They’re growing more grass, increasing milk production and improving the health and well-being of their cows. We bridge deep tech into real-world farming by enabling farmers to remotely shift, virtually fence and proactively monitor their cows’ health and behaviour. We’re backed to deliver on a mission that matters by Tier 1 investors including DCVC, Blackbird, Promus Ventures, Rocket Lab’s Peter Beck and Icehouse ventures. Halters headquarters are in Auckland, New Zealand.

Crimson supports students from around the world to become world-class leaders. What started 10 years ago as an admissions consultancy helping Kiwi students get into the world’s top colleges has turned into an ecosystem of online education products that allow students around the world to accelerate their studies from pre-primary to postgraduate. Through rapid innovations in product and tech, we have scaled our impact and supercharged the education careers of over 100,000 students from more than 60 countries. Services include in-depth US, UK, EU and Australian university admissions support, Australia and New Zealand medical school admissions support, local curriculum tutoring, and extracurricular mentoring. Visit the Crimson Education website to learn more about our network, our edtech platforms and free resources for families.

Sharesies is an empowering wealth app on a mission to give someone with $5 and someone with $5 million the same money opportunities.

Based in the Netherlands, New Zealand, France and the United States, Dawn Aerospace’s mission is to enable the next generation of space users by providing dramatically more scalable and sustainable ways to access and move around in space. Spaceplane Dawn’s suborbital spaceplanes operate much like a fleet of aircraft, taking off and landing horizontally at airports. The Aurora is a suborbital plane designed to fly 100 km above the Earth and aims to be the first vehicle to access space multiple times per day. An active test flight program of the Aurora spaceplane demonstrator has seen 60+ flights completed. In 2024 the Aurora broke the sound barrier, reaching Mach 1.12 at 82,500 feet, and set a record for the fastest climb to 20 kilometers (65,600 feet). In-space propulsion Dawn is now a leading supplier of turnkey green propulsion systems for NanoSat, MicroSat, ESPA, and ESPA Grande-class satellites, as well as actively developing refueling in space with its Loop program. Dawn propulsion technology often achieves superior performance than traditional hydrazine systems by using a unique, green-propellant combination; nitrous oxide and propylene. Having proven this technology on orbit for both CubeSats and small satellites, Dawn propulsion systems have now flown on Electron, Vega, Falcon 9, and Soyuz launchers with over 200 thrusters in space across 50+ satellites and counting.

Hnry is a world-first accounting service, that automatically calculates, pays, and files taxes for sole traders. We’re on a mission to make it easy, affordable, and accessible for anyone to earn independently. Whether you’re a freelancer, contractor, or side hustler, we remove the barriers that stand between sole traders and the freedom to build their own career. No more complicated tax time, or stress about managing finances—Hnry handles it all for you so you can never think about tax again.

Mint Innovation, a New Zealand cleantech company, has scaled biological processes that recover valuable metals from waste. Our first process is a unique biometallurgical approach to recover metals from electronic scrap. A key aspect of the Mint process is the use of proprietary microbes that are selective for specific metals. Combined with the advantages of low-cost green chemistry, we aim to make it viable, both economically and environmentally, to capture value from e-waste near its point of collection.

Beautiful, affordable & always-on brand tracking. Tracksuit is the common language for companies to measure and communicate the value of brand. We’re on a mission to get brand data in every boardroom. Join us on the track 👇
