Snowball Effect is NZ's leading private equity investment marketplace. We launched NZ’s first equity crowdfunding offer in August 2014, and over our three and a half years of operations we’ve facilitated more investment in NZ than all other equity crowdfunding marketplaces together (over 60% market share).
