Tuhua Ventures

Tuhua aspires to give the bravest founders pursuing the boldest opportunities the tools for their hunt. Our thesis: investing earlier, more quickly, and with more capital than other investors will equip us to invest in the best. It's working. We've supported founders seen by no other funds or networks in NZ. Tuhua, the Maori word for "obsidian", was a prized tool used for hunting in New Zealand and has a rich history with the earliest known blades dating back to 700,000 BC. Well-crafted obsidian blades can have a cutting edge many times sharper than high quality steel surgical scalpels.
