    Australasia's largest angel investment network, ICE Angels, partners with Pacific Channel to co-invest in early-stage life-science and clean-technology companies. The partnership consolidates the trend for early-stage companies in New Zealand to attract investment from syndications rather than single investors. ICE Angels Chairman, Trevor Smith, said "the ICE Angels Pacific Channel partnership would expand the capital available for new life sciences ventures in New Zealand and provide access to international expertise and capital. Pacific Channel's focus on biotechnology and clean-tech combined with our scale will provide the partnership with more expertise and greater scale in this capital intense sector," Mr Smith said. Operating since 2003, Ice Angels has more than 100 members being a collective of individual investors rather than a pooled investment fund. Pacific Channel has demonstrated success in funding and securing returns from life-science ventures and accounts for around one-third of the seed and early-stage investment in the New Zealand life sciences sector. Pacific Channel Director, Brent Ogilvie said "New Zealand has a long history of excellence in life sciences research and we see significant life sciences investment opportunities in New Zealand." With this partnership, we hope to see an increased level of investment in biotechnology and clean-tech innovations with the potential to be commercialised globally," said Mr Ogilvie. "There is a lack of seed funding available to life science start-ups and early-stage companies in New Zealand, particularly in the life sciences field. Coupled with the considerable opportunities in international markets for life science products, we see a unique opportunity for investment through our specialised understanding of the life science and clean-tech industries, and our providing a 'channel' between New Zealand and specialist international marketplaces.
