About
Movac is one of the most experienced early-stage technology investors in New Zealand. Movac initially invested at the angel and seed stages, but today it focuses on growth investments (Series A and beyond). We look for New Zealand companies that have proven a product market, have a team in place to grow their business, revenues in place (typically $1-20m), and the potential to scale to $100m+ in revenue. Movac invests in all industries but has specialist capabilities in Saas (especially security, marketplaces, IoT and gaming), Life Sciences (devices and food and beverage tech), and high value manufacturing.
