Testimonials

“Through Kea Connect I spoke with three solvers. Every single one of them has been absolutely fantastic, and my conversations have been very valuable. I look forward to working with the Kea team in China and the connections they are helping us build, to land tangible outcomes for all those involved.”

Tony Wei, Founder, Manuka Emporium

“Each of our connections have been very open to sharing their experiences and providing insights that are really valuable for our US market entry strategy. Several of the connections have also opened a few more doors for us which is amazing.”

Kate Gatfield-Jeffries, Founder, Moodi Blends

“The connections were hugely beneficial. They really helped me form a picture of what doing business in the UAE looks like and what would need to be true for our business.”

Medhavi Patel, Co-Founder, Stickybeak

"As part of our current market analysis in preparation to enter the UK market, Kea NZ has helped to put us in touch with some amazing expat business contacts. All of them have been very helpful and have generously provided us with their time, local experience and recommendations to further our mobilisation efforts. We greatly appreciate the service provided and look forward to working further with Kea in both the UK and other international markets.”

Gian Farrant, Director, Sal's Authentic New York Pizza

“We were impressed with the calibre of contacts Kea was able to connect us to. We've been able to delve into what distributing our product within the UK could look like, and in two short months Kea has provided a level of information sharing to our business that has instrumentally shaped our next steps as an exporter, and I cannot recommend them enough.”

Lisa Portas, Expansion Manager, Palliser Ridge

Kea Connect has been amazing, one of our connections was an ex-All Black who I met during a trip to London. His ideas and advice were so valuable, that one connection literally opened five doors for us. All our connections were amazing Kiwi who have been really helpful and provided incredible advice for no other reason than their desire to support a Kiwi start up. It’s true what they say your network really is your net worth.”

Kale Panoho,Managing Director, Rugby Bricks

“I am so thankful for the support we have received from Kea in the UK, including a connection to one of Kea’s World Class New Zealanders who provided invaluable advice on how we should prepare the business to secure funding from the UK market. This advice and insights give us what we need to take our business to the next level.”

Jenny Kruger, CEO & Co-Founder, JunoFem
