The best company you see this year probably isn’t in your network.
NZ Startup Ground breaks regional silos by giving verified investors a gated window into real revenue, pitch decks, and upcoming raise targets nationwide.
VERIFIED INVESTOR ACCESS
One directory for every NZ startup. Private numbers for verified investors.
Every startup on NZ Startup Ground has a public profile. Verified investors unlock the private layer — revenue, pitch decks, and upcoming raise targets — with every profile view disclosed to the founder by name.
Enough to know which five conversations are worth having out of fifty.
- Revenue and how it’s moving
- Runway, in months
- What the founders still own
- Prior rounds, amounts and who was in them
- The ask, and the window — 3, 6, 9 or 12 months
- One-page summary and the deck
