Impact investment for equity, inclusion, and environmental regeneration.

How do we invest?

Te Pae ki te Rangi was developed in partnership with Foundation North to drive equity, inclusion, and environmental regeneration for priority communities, with place-based investments especially prioritising in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland and Te Tai Tokerau Northland.

This is capital designed for systems change. Thoughtful, values-driven, and deliberate. We do relationships, not just transactions, and we stay flexible in how we support ventures, through capital, advice, and our wider network of support.

What do we invest in?

We back a wide range of ventures, from early-stage startups and emerging business models to established organisations looking to grow, pivot, or transform.

We use a range of investment tools and structures to fit the opportunity. Typical investment size is from $500k up to $8m, guided by impact, risk, and return. We also co-invest with other values-aligned investors to grow the collective impact footprint.

Alignment with Fund Themes

Your solution must be driven by one of more of our core themes.

Impact for and by our Communities.

We prioritise solutions that deliver meaningful outcomes for our communities, especially those often excluded from capital flows. We're particularly focused on ventures that serve or are led by:
