NZ Angel Association headlined a conference with this theme.
American Capital is absolutely transformative!
What the presenters on this subject at the "Wellington Runway" did not do was to explain "how" to go about attracting this capital into NZ companies. We all know that one of the most effective ways of attracting capital is to "get in front of the people that own it". Something you cannot do sitting in NZ. The Showcase opens this opportunity for NZ companies to go "one on one" with US investors.
Step #1: "GET SEEN" (This planned shopfront will do it!)
This is a concept render of the old real estate office that operated from this Ft Lauderdale address. Back in Q1 of 2024 we noted 103 "Walk-ins" over a 90 day "Test the Waters" campaign for a USD5M ASP package in NZ- That's US$515M worth of inquiries - One can only imagine how much interest this "Invest-NZ" Showcase will draw when this shopfront concept becomes reality. Being "seen" is a given.
