Angel Investors in Wellington
Hemara Group is a private venture group, not a traditional fund. It builds and backs New Zealand businesses directly, so founders get people who have run companies and will work alongside them, not just a cheque and a board seat.
Wellington is the capital and the seat of Parliament and central government, so policy, procurement and regulation are decided here. It also has a strong professional services and tech sector packed into one of the most walkable CBDs in the country. Hemara Group has a base in Wellington and meets Wellington founders in person.
