Description

Investment Fix is a podcast series from New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE) exploring different investment types, from angel investment to venture capital, private equity to online funding platforms, debt funding to IPOs on the NZX. This podcast is for New Zealand companies that are in growth mode and need to understand their investment options. In season four of the Investment Fix podcast, we’re taking a deep dive into the US market: the opportunities it holds for New Zealand companies, what it takes to grow a business and build a brand there, and how to secure the funding you need to make it happen. Across four episodes, NZTE’s GM of Investment Dylan Lawrence talks to some of the superstars of the investment and start up world, from talented Kiwis and Americans building businesses in the US, to seasoned investors from both sides of the globe. Get advice and lessons learnt from people who have been there, and hear how to make your mahi count in the US market. Season three of NZTE’s Investment Fix podcast brings together New Zealand start-ups and the investors behind them – from venture capital and private equity firms to angel and Māori Investors. The result is a fascinating look at the relationship between investor and investee, as well as some first-hand advice on securing investment and driving growth. Across six fascinating episodes, NZTE’s GM of investment Dylan Lawrence talks to Mint Innovation & Movac; SafeStack & Jelix Ventures; Natural Pet Food Group & Pioneer Capital; Narrative Muse & Angel Association NZ; as well as two of the biggest names in Māori Investment. There’s also a very special ‘bonus episode’ featuring renowned Silicon Valley technology attorney, executive and author, Randy Komisar. In season two of NZTE’s Investment Fix podcast, New Zealand companies talk about their growth journey and how they secured funding to fuel that growth. Each episode features two companies sharing their experiences of raising capital and focuses on one of six different types of investment funding: angel investment, online funding platforms, private equity, domestic venture capital, international venture capital, and IPOs on the stock exchange. Companies featured in season two of the Investment Fix include Xero, Serko, Zeffer, Rua Bioscience, Yabble, Parkable, Laybuy, Calocurb, Beany and chnnl. The founders and CEOs of these companies are honest about the highs and lows of seeking investment and share valuable insights into how they determined which type of capital was right for them, putting a valuation on their company, what it took to win over investors, and what they would do differently next time. Season one of Investment Fix looked at the capital-raising process through the eyes of the investors; with angels, VCs, PEs, online funding platforms, banks and the NZX sharing their advice on what it takes to secure investment.
