Episode guiding points:
Think of this conversation as a balcony view of the state of play in the tech ecosystem in NZ and a round table of musings. We deep dive into various aspects including Barnaby and Vignesh’s varied and interesting entry points into Venture Capital and how their prior experiences in different domains helped; Unpacking the historical and current state of play of the NZ Venture ecosystem (Generation 3 as Barnaby refers to it) and examples of the success stories to date such as TradeMe, PushPay, Xero, LanzaTech, Rocketlab etc. We dive into the thesis and fund construction of GD1 and Icehouse, their Investment Committee decision making process (this one is particularly relevant for founders looking to raise capital from VC’s like Icehouse and GD1).
We review the cultural change starting to happen in NZ and What would Barnaby and Vignesh change if they had a magic wand.
And you may find their areas of learning for the next 6 months intriguing, our host Vidit for one have exactly those points on his list.
It’s now time to explore your curiosity. Please enjoy!
