Who is Icehouse Ventures?

We’re a New Zealand venture capital firm backing exceptional Kiwi founders building transformative tech companies.

Over the past 23 years, we’ve grown into NZ’s most active early-stage investor, with $600M+ in funds under management and a portfolio of 350+ companies. We invest from first cheque to global expansion—spanning industries from spaceplanes to SaaS—and are among the earliest supporters of Dawn Aerospace, Halter, Crimson Education, Hnry, Sharesies, Partly, Tracksuit, and more.

We believe in a future vastly brighter than imaginable today—driven by ambitious founders turning their ideas into reality. Our mission is to tip the odds of success in their favour by removing barriers and fuelling ambition through capital, expertise, and a global network of investors and supporters.
