Short Answer
Angel Association New Zealand's 2025 report tracks activity by six active association groups using Catalist, together with co-investors alongside those groups.
Key Points
- •Tracked Angel Association group investment totalled $13,914,788 in 2025, excluding $765,000 of fund commitments.
- •The tracked total increased 2.7% year on year; it should not be described as the entire New Zealand angel market.
- •The dataset recorded 167 deals: 63 new and 104 follow-on.
- •The average investment per deal, per angel fell 17.6% to $12,446; the median was $5,003.
- •The figures point toward a syndicated PiP first close assembled through a credible lead investor.
Full Summary & Notes
Angel Association New Zealand's 2025 report tracks activity by six active association groups using Catalist, together with co-investors alongside those groups. It is the correct source for the $13.9 million tracked-group total and the $12,446 average per-deal investor ticket used in the PiP funding brief; it does not represent every independent angel or angel group in New Zealand.
