Investment Thesis

Icehouse Ventures believes in a world where New Zealand founders can build globally transformative companies from Aotearoa. Their philosophy centers on the conviction that ‘building globally transformative companies takes time, with hurdles and unforeseen challenges along the way.’ They exist to ensure exceptional founders have the odds of success tipped in their favour by providing capital, expertise, and a network of thousands. The firm operates on the principle that ‘winning on a global stage isn’t defined by physical location, because world-class resources transcend geographical distance.’

What Sets Them Apart

  • New Zealand's most active venture capital investor with $500m+ in funds under management and 350+ companies backed since 2003
  • Unique continuity of support from day one to IPO with capital ranging from $100k in first round to $10m+ in later rounds
  • Extensive co-investor network of 3,000+ active investors providing capital, insights, and resources
  • Strong focus on supporting young founders through dedicated First Cut Fund and community for entrepreneurs under 30
  • Geographic diversity through international investor network across six continents while maintaining local New Zealand roots
  • Comprehensive founder community with frequent retreats, events, and peer support beyond capital provision
