WebFund's Dave Moskovitz talks about our new model for start-up investment in the New Zealand Venture Investment Fund's Young Company Finance publication.
Our Approach

We help turn web-centric business concepts into thriving companies. We work right alongside our entrepreneurs in all aspects of the business, from strategy through to operations.

How we work:

  • Just do it – quickly! Don’t waste time, start with a great core concept, and evolve rapidly as you learn more about what your customers really want
  • We’re in this together, and we’re ready to go hard
  • It’s all about community participation, continuous improvement and usability
  • Adaptability and sustainability are critical
  • It may be web-based, but it’s still a business
  • We like scalable, disruptive ideas with a global appeal

We invest in and partner with entrepreneurs by:

  • Developing successful business strategies
  • Developing and launching an online platform
  • Delivering hands-on technical and operational support and business know-how
  • Providing board-level governance
  • Contributing seed funding
  • Preparing the business for international scale and investment

The value exchange:

  • We generally take an equity stake in the business (usually 20-40%)
  • The majority of our contribution is the work we do with you
  • Some initial cash is available
  • We expect further external investment after 18-36 months
