New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon recently announced changes to New Zealand’s ban on foreigners buying houses for Active Investor Plus (AIP) Visa holders. But before that news hit the headlines, all eyes were on Sea-Flux.
Sea-Flux founder, Tai Ellis, demonstrated the company’s cloud-based vessel management software to the Prime Minister, Immigration Minister Erica Stanford, Deputy Prime Minister David Seymour, and MP Nancy Lu. The event took place at Auckland’s Ferry Building – an iconic nautical landmark and home of 2040 Ventures. It was a fitting backdrop for a business redefining maritime operations.
2040 Ventures is fund manager of Punakaiki Fund, which has taken a 13.0% stake in Sea-Flux. The investment reflects our confidence in the company’s global growth potential.
