Aurellan Intergenerational Thinking Podcast - Backing the Next Generation of NZ Companies

29 Jun 2026

What does it take to back the companies shaping New Zealand's future?

In the latest episode of the Aurellan Intergenerational Thinking podcast, Aurellan CEO, Chris Di Leva sat down with Fi Foster of Movac and Andrew Bascand of Harbour Asset Management to explore how innovation gets funded, and where it comes from.


Fi took us inside the venture process: how Movac identifies and backs companies like Dawn Aerospace, Crimson, Hnry and Auror, and what conviction looks like when you are investing at an early stage of a company's lifecycle.


Andrew offered a complementary lens from listed markets, reminding us that breakthrough innovation often emerges from the most unexpected places. Case in point: Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, now an index heavyweight, began life within an appliance manufacturer.


Worth tuning in if you think about where the next generation of value is created.
