Aspire NZ Seed Fund

Supporting Kiwi tech start-ups to become world-class companies.

Start-up companies play an important role in building and transforming our economy to become more productive, sustainable, and inclusive. Agile by nature, they’re the ones who introduce disruptive and innovative technologies.

Our Aspire fund invests directly into these early-stage Kiwi technology start-ups at proof of concept, seed, and early expansion investment stages.

Although a generalist fund, we are weighting more of our future investments into deep-tech (including agri-tech, food-tech, clean-tech, life sciences, space, AI and machine learning) and supporting emerging sectors that are currently relatively under-served by private sector investors.
