Some of the offers made through Snowball Effect's marketplace are hidden and restricted to “wholesale investors”. If you certify your wholesale investor status, then you'll get access to a broader range of deals.
The wholesale investor criteria are described below. Click here to confirm that you’re a wholesale investor (you'll be prompted to login or register first if you're not already a member).
The team at Snowball Effect is on a mission to make capital raising simpler and more efficient. We support private companies in becoming investment ready, then provide a range of capital raising options for them. While we are known for providing companies with a channel to access investment from the public, we have had increasing demand from companies who want to raise funds privately from larger investors. These companies are often growth companies seeking a lead investor, or a handful of investors to complete an existing round, or experienced business people who are able to invest as well as become actively involved in the business.
For regulatory reasons, in NZ these types of offers are generally only made to "wholesale investors". Facilitating wholesale investor offers enables us to support a broader range of Kiwi businesses and bring a wider variety of offers to investors.
If you're interested in taking a lead investor role, or becoming actively involved in private companies, or are a company seeking private capital raising support or advice, please email [email protected] or call Cowan Finch on 027 489 8947.
The term “wholesale investor” is defined in the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (the Act). People sometimes refer to wholesale investors as "eligible investors" or "accredited investors". Please see the Act for original wording and more information.
