Since the launch of Snowball Effect in 2014, we’ve stayed true to our mission to help more New Zealanders to have access to exciting private high-growth investment opportunities.
Our collaboration with Icehouse Ventures on their IVX Fund I allows our community of wholesale investors to access a way to invest in some of New Zealand’s leading technology startups.
Who are Icehouse Ventures?
Established in 2015, Icehouse Ventures is New Zealand’s most active early-stage investment firm. They recently launched IVX Fund I, a growth stage venture fund that has already received more than $70m in committed funds from cornerstone investors such as Simplicity, Sir Stephen Tindall, Hobson Wealth, Iwi, and other private investors.
The IVX Fund will invest in 30 ‘late stage’ tech companies and has already invested in businesses such as Shuttlerock, Halter and Dawn Aerospace. When selecting companies to invest in via the Fund, Icehouse Ventures look for companies that exhibit established and growing teams, proven business models and revenue, well-developed products and services, robust governance, and the potential for global growth.
