ABOUT THE INVESTMENT CHALLENGE

Now in its fourth year the Unlimited Investment Challenge is open to business owners who are seeking investment to grow and expand  their business into overseas markets . This unique programme is designed to deliver value to registrants through interactive workshops, engagement with the investment community and ultimately the opportunity to pitch for investment.

We invite interested business leaders of companies from start-up to $5 million turnover to be part of the Unlimited Investment Challenge. The six month process consists of two phases:

Phase 1 includes stages 1-3
Phase 2 includes stages 4-7

The process provides unique opportunities to engage with experts, learn new skills, review and refocus your business within the context of becoming investment ready. The Unlimited Investment Challenge culminates in a pitch process to a group of well known and established Investors.

In 2010 we are delighted to announce that KEA has joined the programme. KEA comprises a global network of New Zealand leaders who are currently living overseas.

A group of business leaders who are part of this unique global network will join the Unlimited Investment Challenge - Virtual Advisory Board.
In this capacity they will make themselves available to be involved with either an informal or formal board of a business.* Businesses will be selected based on the businesses plans provided on the 17 September and the Unlimited Investment Challenge pitch taking place on the 2 November.

* Contributions of each member of the Unlimited Investment Challenge - Virtual Advisory Board may vary.
