South Bastion invests globally in businesses that solve real problems, challenge the status quo, and create enduring value. Our mandate spans from ambitious seed-stage ventures through to later-stage and listed companies, where innovation meets execution and long-term conviction. We are active in the New Zealand private investment eco-system.

 We operate as a crossover investor, managing a portfolio of public market equities while backing private companies at the angel and growth-investment level.
This dual approach lets us leverage insights across public and private markets, balance liquidity with long-term growth, and support founders through every stage of their journey.

We’re not passive investors. We bring hands-on experience in strategy, finance, operations, and growth, drawing on our own track record of bootstrapping, scaling, and building enduring businesses. Where appropriate we look beyond spreadsheets to back resilient, thoughtful founders—people obsessed with delivering real, lasting value.
