Moonfare continues its path to become a globally leading digital investment manager and has just unveiled its inaugural private equity secondary strategy!
I am personally a huge advocate for secondaries because they can offer a wide range of benefits, such as portfolio diversification, attractive prices and potentially faster returns on investments.
I’m extremely proud to announce this new strategy, as we continue to break barriers in the private sector for more property for more people.
To learn more about secondaries and what makes them an attractive alternative, check out our detailed white paper: https://moonfa.re/4cRjvnp#PrivateMarkets#PrivateEquity#Secondaries#Strategy#Alternatives#SemiLiquid#Finance#Entrepreneurship#VentureCapital#InvestmentManager#AssetManager

Ever wondered what Angel Investors look for in pitches?
We all know how difficult it is to raise our first round. Helm Investment Day hosts up to 15 angel investors, most of whom have scaled and exited their business and have now turned to active investing.
Our Angels shared these top tips:
1. Commit to the business - Angels want to see that the founder is 100% in, they don’t want to invest in a side hustle.
2. Concentrate on one thing and do it really well - doubts arise when founders try to do multiple ventures at one time
3. Bring realistic valuations - we’ve found that there is still a hangover from the valuation bubble in 2022/2023 and founders need to re-adjust to the current landscape.
Best of luck, and don’t leave it too late to apply for our pitch day. Applications will close around mid August with closing date TBC soon.

✈️❣️✈️ don't we all want a happy start, flight and landing - then watch my compilation to the end 🙂
Preparing thoroughly for an investor presentation is crucial, mirroring the diligence one would apply when investing like for our own personal funds - sounds reasonable, right?

A well-prepared pitch not only showcases the viability of your business or startup but also reflects your commitment and professionalism.
Viewing the investor as a potential long-term partner emphasizes the importance of a compelling narrative, financial transparency, and a clear roadmap.
Collaboration with an investor extends beyond funding; it's about fostering a relationship that can unlock mutual opportunities and sustained success together 🙂
If you are looking for investments and have a sound business and/or concept, you can contact me as a first step and send me your company deck and from there on we can move forward, as I am in collaboration with the Swiss Chamber of Commerce in The Netherlands (SCCN) 🙂
..wishing you loads of success, cheers, Marcus 💛💯💛

As we slide into the summer holidays and founders, board members and investors start to turn their minds to their company funding requirements for 2024, Morrison Foerster have produced a particularly useful report setting out the key investment terms across markets like the US, UK, Singapore, Japan, Mainland China and LatAm (hat tip to MoFo).
If you are looking at raising funds outside of New Zealand, it is well worth a read to understand what terms are common or trending in other jurisdictions.
While NZ didn’t make the report (don’t worry Aussie didn’t either) we thought we would give our key takeouts from the report and the NZ outlook for 2024:
* Non-participating preference shares remain the staple choice, and thankfully (apart from some Asian regions) we are not seeing participating preference shares creeping into the mix.
* 1x still seems to be the multiple of choice for liquidation preference rights, although it looks like higher multiples are creeping into later rounds, although again we haven’t seen this much in NZ yet.
* Investor protective provisions (veto rights) remain hotly debated but we are more similarly aligned to the US, with investors in many other jurisdictions seeking wider range veto rights than we commonly see in NZ.
* Approval thresholds for investor protections (veto rights) have universally moved to treating investors as a group, and depending on the stage of the round, possibly running across different series – NZ has also moved in this direction with the latest AANZ update to its template term sheet making it smoother to navigate through series of rounds, follow-on rounds, and cap table movements.
* Redemption rights remain mostly off limits in the venture capital world, and this remains the case in NZ despite the changing economic climate.
* We still tend to be egalitarian in NZ when we talk about pre-emptive rights on share transfers or new share issues – most jurisdictions have now reserved this to investors and in some instances major shareholders.
* Broad-based weighted average anti-dilution rights seem to universally the flavour including in NZ, although NZ seems a little outstep in continuing to negotiate sunsets on these rights (possible a hangover from the dates of full-ratchet anti-dilutes (?)).
That is it from us in 2023, it has been a massive year – we have seen a lot of adjusting happening in the markets, and here is hoping towards a more stable 2024! Until then, wishing you all a relaxing festive season and summer holiday and see you on the flip side in 2024!
