Tuhua can invest up to $300K into a start-up's first seed rounds (to a maximum of 75% Of a round), and invest a maximum of $1 million into angel-scale companies that require growth acceleration.

Tuhua is interested in connecting with and investing in visionary, genuine, and driven entrepreneurs from across New Zealand. We are generally industry and stage agnostic and are interested in learning more if you have the following features: unique insights or perspectives relevant to your opportunity, experience building start-ups and leading teams, breakthrough technology driven by ultra-high output team members, IP or a defendable competitive advantage, a large, growing, and durable target market.
