Why Māui Toa?

How we add value for investors

Māui Toa is a high value collective investment vehicle created by Māori. We bring representation and diversity to early-stage, technology investment along with the skills and experience needed to obtain credibility and performance.

01.

More value

When you put the capital aside, what else do you get? We generate more than returns, with added cultural richness and wrap-around services that upskill our people, accelerate growth, add value to brand and future-proof businesses to ensure global success.

02.

More alignment

There are a lot of Venture Capital funds, but very few fully understand the holistic interconnectedness of te ao Māori, and even fewer have built kaupapa, tīkanga, team and expertise to work within it well.

03.

More respect

Mana permeates through all we do. From the people we work with, to the te taiao (enviroment) from whom we descend and now live amidst, to the respected and brilliant IP and ideas that we can help make come true. Mana is extended and upheld to all, in equal parts.

04.

More engaging

We understand that fundamentally we’re investing in people, and they’re investing in us. So it’s really important we get along, have a laugh and can enjoy the hard yards together - so that when we reach the end destination, the journey is what is remembered well.

We add value by:

Utilising our unique position in the investment community to develop extensive quality relationships to inform our investments.

Where we do not hold deep knowledge in new technology, we will apply a disciplined approach of investing alongside skilled partners that do.

Leverage the Māori asset base and the Investor LPs wherever possible.

This includes land, people, and relationships.

Becoming a go-to partner between the Māori economy and other funds to drive more investment into the Māori economy.

We are inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit of Māui.

We know it’s a long journey and it takes courage to leave familiar shores behind.

Māui Toa.
