Venture Capital in Wellington
Venture capital funds invest other people’s money and need a handful of huge exits to work. Hemara Group invests its own way, as a private venture group, which means it can back businesses on a longer horizon and work in them hands-on.
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.
What’s included
- Private, partnership-led backing
- No fund timeline forcing an exit
- Operating support across the group

- Strategy for the short and long term
Hemara Group’s portfolio runs from a production house to a consultancy and a gym.
