We're joined by Barnaby Marshall, Partner at Icehouse Ventures
and Vignesh Kumar, Co-Managing Partner at GD1 in this special
"round table musings" demystifying the fast growing New Zealand
tech ecosystem.
***
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!
