About Trochem

Trochem is a specialized financial agency based in New Zealand, dedicated to empowering technological and digital businesses through strategic financial guidance. We bridge the gap between innovative local companies and global investment opportunities, providing the expertise needed to scale operations effectively in today's fast-paced digital economy.

Our team combines deep knowledge of New Zealand's unique economic landscape with extensive connections to international venture capital, private equity firms, and angel investors. This dual expertise allows us to create tailored financial strategies that leverage local advantages while accessing global capital markets.

Founded in 2015, we've helped over 75 tech companies secure more than $320 million in funding, with a focus on sustainable growth rather than just quick capital injection. Our approach prioritizes long-term partnerships where we align our success with yours through every stage of business development.

Success Stories

Auckland-based FinTech startup team celebrating funding success

PayStream: NZ FinTech Revolution

FinTech | Series B Funding

PayStream approached us with a revolutionary payment processing platform targeting small businesses but faced challenges scaling beyond the local market. Our team identified key growth blockers and restructured their financial model to appeal to international investors.

We connected PayStream with specialized FinTech investors from Singapore and San Francisco, resulting in a $18.5M Series B round. The company has since expanded to four Asia-Pacific markets and tripled their customer base within 18 months.

CloudStack: SaaS Scaling Success

SaaS | Angel to Series A Transition

CloudStack developed an innovative cloud infrastructure management solution but struggled to transition from angel funding to institutional investment. The company had strong technical foundations but lacked the financial narrative needed to attract larger investors.

Our team restructured their business model, implemented clear unit economics, and developed a compelling growth story. This strategic repositioning attracted a $7.2M Series A round led by a major Australian venture fund, enabling CloudStack to expand their engineering team and enter enterprise markets.

Through careful negotiation and positioning, we secured a $42M acquisition by a leading European healthcare company, including substantial earnout provisions tied to technology milestones.
