The law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This requires those offering financial products to have disclosed information that is important for investors to make an informed decision. The usual rules do not apply to this offer if you are a person who comes within Schedule1, clause 3(2)(a)-(c) or 3(3)(a)-(b)(ii) (inclusive) of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. This includes where the amount invested upfront by the investor (plus any other investments the Investor has already made in the financial products) is $750,000 or more. If you fall within Schedule 1, clause 3 of the FMCA as a result of this exclusion, you may not receive a complete and balanced set of information. You will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment. Investments of this kind are not suitable for retail investors. Ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing yourself.
Ecliptic Venture Capital — Investing where New Zealand innovation meets global scale.
Ecliptic Venture Capital is a New Zealand–based managed investment scheme approved by Invest NZ as a Growth Investment under the Active Investor Plus (AIP) programme. Built around a distinctive active-management model, Ecliptic does far more than provide capital: the team works shoulder-to-shoulder with founders on talent acquisition, go-to-market strategy, governance, and preparation for U.S. and global expansion. In doing so, Ecliptic aims to bridge the capital and resource gap for early-stage New Zealand ventures and help turn world-class technical founders into world-class global companies. The fund takes a focused, high-conviction approach, targeting 10–15 Seed and Series A investments in B2B software companies where hands-on support can materially improve outcomes. Early results are compelling: Ecliptic’s portfolio is already generating strong momentum, placing its performance in the top 10% of venture funds globally. These outcomes reflect both disciplined selection and the tangible impact of Ecliptic’s execution playbook.
Ecliptic is currently raising its $30m Fund I with a planned final close in May 2026.
Behind the strategy is a seasoned team with decades of experience across venture, fintech,and global capital markets, complemented by a deep international network spanning the U.S. and beyond. This blend of local roots and global reach is central to how Ecliptic supports portfolio companies win outside New Zealand.
This opportunity is designed for investors who value active management, want to engage with an emerging early-stage ecosystem, and are willing to contribute intellectual capital alongside financial capital.
