Bay of Plenty start-up funding group Enterprises Angels plans to launch an online crowdfunding platform aimed at eligible investors within the next month.
"The investment world is shifting and changing all the time and we're seeing more and more investment opportunities being made available online," executive director Bill Murphy, told an Enterprise Angels meeting this week.
However, most equity crowdfunding opportunities were open to all. Early stage investments were typically high-risk, with a high failure rate.
Mr Murphy said the Enterprise Angels platform would aim to offer deals that had gone through a strong level of due diligence to a wider platform of qualified investors across New Zealand.
"We saw a real opportunity in the market to take angel-backed high quality investment opportunities that have already had the full scrutiny of Enterprise Angels' and make them available more widely."
