On the capital-raising side, the firm supports local high-growth companies through end-to-end managed raises, having helped over 100 New Zealand businesses raise more than $200m since 2014. Its model emphasises fully digital, paperwork-free investing and direct share ownership in backed companies across a range of industries, alongside nominee management services.
