About
Scope
NZ-domiciled organisations on the climate tech value chain. Investors included only if they have a genuine climate, cleantech, deeptech, agritech, or impact thesis — not generalist funds with occasional sustainability exposure.
What's not shown
Individual angel investors (excluded for privacy — see the institutional syndicates instead). International funds active in NZ. Live deal flow, round sizes, or AIP visa approval status.
Honest gaps
Translation is NZ's structurally thin layer — 5 entities vs Ireland's dense TTO network. Investment skews heavily sub-$5M. Series B+ capital is scarce. Most seed rounds are never publicly announced.
Refresh cadence
Quarterly manual update. Not a live database. Last updated May 2026.
