Snowball Effect

Overview

Snowball Effect is a New Zealand-based equity crowdfunding platform that enables companies to raise capital by offering shares to the public. Since its launch in 2014, it has facilitated over NZ$200 million in funding for more than 90 companies across various sectors, including technology, healthcare, and consumer goods. The platform offers a range of capital raising options, from private placements with high-net-worth individuals and family offices to public equity crowdfunding offers. It also provides ongoing share registry and nominee management services to ensure effective communication and corporate actions. The platform operates under the regulations set by the Financial Markets Authority, allowing companies to raise up to NZ$2 million from retail investors within a 12-month period without the need for a regulated product disclosure statement. This exemption reduces the cost and complexity of public offers, making it more accessible for companies to secure funding. Snowball Effect's services are available to both New Zealand and Australian investors, providing them with opportunities to invest in high-growth New Zealand companies. The platform emphasizes the importance of due diligence and offers a variety of investment opportunities to suit different investor preferences. Snowball Effect has a track record of raising capital for a wide variety of companies, including notable offers such as Invivo Wines, Designer Wardrobe, and ArchiPro. The platform's leadership team includes CEO and Co-Founder Josh Daniell, who is passionate about democratizing access to growth capital, and Co-Founder Chris Philpott, with a background in technology and entrepreneurship. The Chief Investment Officer, Anna Guenther, oversees investment opportunities and due diligence for platform offerings. Together, they aim to simplify online angel investing, venture capital, private equity, and equity crowdfunding, enhancing the future of investors' portfolios and supporting the growth of New Zealand businesses.
