How we can support you with investment
Our team supports ambitious businesses to raise growth capital and matches investors with investment opportunities that benefit Aotearoa.
We look for investors who can bring knowledge and connections to the table, support growth and create jobs in the regions, who can lift wages and spend with local suppliers, and who can support sustainable land use. We measure these aspects of an investment to find out exactly how much it benefits the New Zealand economy.
We work with iwi holding and operating companies, Māori land trusts and incorporations, whānau-owned companies, companies with Māori shareholders and Māori values, and companies that rely on Māori resources. We don't have a set definition for a Māori entity – it's up to you to self-identify.
It doesn't cost anything to work with us, and we can support you, whether your goal is an early-stage capital raise or a multi-million dollar project.

About our team
Invest New Zealand is tasked with attracting investment that helps to grow an inclusive, productive and sustainable economy.
To grow New Zealand's economy, we need to grow Māori. We take our commitment as a partner of Te Tiriti o Waitangi seriously. This is why we have a dedicated team with the cultural and commercial competence to support Māori entities and iwi.
Our Māori Investment team is dispersed around Aotearoa and we have expertise in corporate finance, strategy, investment banking and capital raising. We come from diverse backgrounds, from working in multinational private sector firms to owning our own businesses or supporting our own hapu's ventures (and seeking investment to grow them).
The Māori Investment team:
stands confidently in te ao Māori and te ao Pākehā, and we incorporate our reo and tikanga into our work as much as we can
is accustomed to working alongside Māori entities with complex ownership structures and unique cultural, political, environmental and social drivers
has a track record of supporting Māori companies in successful capital raises
is connected to a deep network of Māori and non-Māori investors, including global investors through our offshore investment teams
can support you to navigate the wider government support ecosystem
has a strong purpose to support Māori to achieve mana motuhake.
