Kia ora, I’m Michaela 👋, a marketing leader who has been working for and alongside fast-growing Kiwi startups for the better part of a decade.Since 2022, I’ve been part of the Icehouse Ventures team—NZ’s most active venture capital firm, which has invested over $400 million into 330+ early-stage Kiwi tech companies.I joined as the first marketing hire and have had the privilege of establishing and growing the function while interacting with many talented, ambitious, and resilient startup founders and teams within the ecosystem.I’m passionate about encouraging more people to align with Aotearoa’s tech startups, whether by joining one, starting one, or being financially invested in one (or many). The future can only get brighter if more of us play a part in building solutions to the world’s biggest challenges. And why not do it from a little island at the bottom of the world? We already have success stories that prove it can be done.
