It’s been five years since New Zealand equity crowdfunding company Snowball Effect got the go ahead from the Financial Markets Authority to bring Kiwi founders and investors a new way to raise and invest capital in ambitious New Zealand business ventures.

For the past five years, New Zealand has had the option of equity crowdfunding as a legal form of capital raising. As Simeon Burnett reports, there have been plenty of export businesses that have raised capital over this period, and like any fledgling market, and indeed asset class, there have been both successes and failures.

Emerging industries with the potential scale of the cannabis market provide significant opportunities for early investors, however, the chance to be at the forefront of a growing market comes with substantial risks.
