New Zealand is increasingly becoming a haven for international talent and attracting world class investors. They bring fresh perspective, networks, and an understanding of nuances in the global markets to strategically open up investment and industry channels for Kiwi start-ups. They can also play an important role in positioning Kiwi start-ups for global success and become the company's moat.

During this event we will speak to Katherine Sandford (CEO of UBCO), Janine Grainger (CEO of Easy Crypto) and Adrien Gheur (Partner at Nuance Connected Capital - a deep tech fund) who have successfully attracted significant international capital and talent for growth and leveraged their networks for global expansion. You will hear both founder and investor perspectives on the benefits, challenges, and opportunities that the process has created for them. The session will also cover how founders can leverage local VCs to take their company global.
