From spotting a funding gap for medium-sized Kiwi businesses to helping unlock liquidity for founders and investors, Catalist has now surpassed $200 million transactions!

What began in 2020 as a mission to reduce complexity in private market investing has grown into a healthy marketplace supporting businesses and investors at scale, strengthening New Zealand’s capital ecosystem along the way.

🌱 Catalist was built to simplify investment admin for SMEs, their brokers, and investors.

With our growing community, we've now
- Transacted over $200M across all markets
- Administered $1.3B+ in value across portfolios
- Hosted 1,020+ trading events and
- Supported 1,130+ financial products

Along the way, we’ve kept building, introducing services like automated dividends and interest payments (including PIE compatibility) and nominee shareholder solutions to simplify processes for issuers and investors alike. We’ve also continued to strengthen the Angel Investor community through smarter syndication, secondary liquidity, and regular industry reports.

🔜 What’s next?

You can expect to see more innovation, access, and opportunities for our business and investor communities, including changes to open more investments to retail investors.

🎉 Thank you to everyone who’s been part of the journey so far. Here’s to the next big milestone!

We’ve just released our update to the New Zealand Angel Market Report for the first quarter of 2026. Investment decreased to $1.83 million, which was significantly lower than Q4 2025. This partly reflects normal seasonal patterns, but is likely also attributed to ongoing geopolitical conflict weighing down investor confidence.

👼 34 deals were completed by the Angel groups on Catalist across 23 different early-stage companies, more deals than seen in Q1 2024 or 2025. However, individual investment sizes dropped, down to an average of $9,771 per deal, per Angel.

🗺️ Companies based in Manawatū–Whanganui received 32.9% of total investment, up from the 12-month average. Auckland, Wellington, and Otago saw a fall in their share of investment relative to their trailing 12-month averages, while Waikato and Canterbury experienced a slight increase.

🔬 Deeptech companies dominated this quarter, receiving an impressive 65.6% of investment, up almost 20% from the trailing 12-month average. There was also a clear shift toward SAFEs and convertible notes in Q1, which contributed 41.8% of investment value. Interestingly, for the first quarter since Q2 2024, new investments (68.5%) outweighed follow-on rounds (31.5%).

🚨 NZVC has secured an early allocation in General Compute, the world’s first neocloud purpose‑built for ASIC AI inference, and is opening this opportunity to investors through Catalist.

⚡ NZVC was the first backer alongside Village Global (LPs include Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Reid Hoffman, Eric Schmidt, and Mark Zuckerberg). As AI shifts from training to inference, speed is becoming the defining constraint and General Compute’s ASIC‑native platform is already delivering 5–7x faster tokens per second than leading GPU providers in live benchmarks.

💡 With a proven NZ founder, a deeply technical team, and privileged access to in‑demand ASIC silicon, General Compute is positioned to become a category‑defining infrastructure company at a pivotal moment for the AI stack.

NZVC is currently syndicating a limited SPV allocation through Catalist.

Wholesale investors are encouraged to invest by 8 May, 5:00pm.
