Snowball Effect is a New Zealand-based online investing marketplace, that enables New Zealand companies to offer shares to members of the public.[2] Snowball Effect launched in August 2014, after being one of the first to acquire an equity crowdfunding license from the Financial Markets Authority.[1][3] As of November 2020[update] over NZ$75 million has been raised on the platform.
Companies have a range of options when raising capital through Snowball Effect, including public offers, private offers, wholesale investor offers, debt offers, and bespoke capital raising.
