Headquartered in Auckland, we invest in businesses across New Zealand that are solving real problems, challenging the status quo, and creating long-term value. From seed-stage startups with big ambition to later-stage companies looking to scale, we bring more than just funding—we bring perspective, commitment, and a deep respect for the founder journey. 

 We’ve been in the trenches. We know what it’s like to bootstrap, to hire that first employee, to win (and lose) key customers, and to wrestle with growing pains. That’s why we’re not passive investors. We work closely with founders, offering support across strategy, finance, operations, and growth—when and where it’s needed most. 

 At South Bastion, we look for more than numbers on a spreadsheet. We invest in people who are resilient, thoughtful, and obsessed with delivering value. We back those who are building something real and enduring—not just chasing a quick win.  If that sounds like you, let’s connect. We’re always open to a conversation, whether you're raising capital or exploring options
