5. An Introduction
The ICE Angels is a network successful entrepreneurs,
corporate executives, and professional investors, that
invests in and supports exceptional teams exploiting global
opportunities.
Our mission is to connect willing and active investors with
high-potential New Zealand start-ups in order to facilitate
their funding and success.
The ICE Angels have invested in more than 50 start-ups
including algae cultivation, smart inhalers, super computing,
mobile apps, robotics, virtual worlds, and even rum.
6. What does the ICE Angels do?
We do much more than simply write cheques and network.
1. We collaborate to support great start-ups.
2. We actively train to become great investors.
3. We bring together the start-up community.
4. We cultivate international relationships.
7. The ICE Angels network is designed to enable passionate
investors to collaboratively identify, review, invest in, and
support high potential start-ups.
The network comes together one evening per month for
presentations by up to 5 start-ups that have been selected
by the member-led Deal Flow Committee.
Investors with common interest in start-ups collaborate on
due diligence, negotiations, and investment (typically $20k/
investor, $450k/company.) Individuals ultimately make their
own investment decisions.
We collaborate to support great start-ups
8. The ICE Angels network hosts dozens of workshops, round
tables, and seminars each year.
Workshops focus on due diligence, board stewardship,
start-up valuation, exit strategies and much more. Round
table gatherings regularly occur to perform post-investment
& exit debriefs and share other relevant insights.
We actively train to be leading investors
9. The ICE Angels has meaningful links with investors in the
US, Europe, and Asia. We actively syndicate with networks
in the Valley, NY, Singapore, Mumbai, and elsewhere.
In addition, we bring international angels to NZ to train local
investors and support start-ups. Recent guests include:
