 “Konnect have a range of proven business process  solutions that have created strong interest both here and abroad, and were seeking a long-term  cornerstone investor to help fund their ongoing growth,” Rangatira’s chairman Murray Gough says.

Rangatira has a conditional undertaking to provide a further $2 million in follow-on capital in August  2013.  Rangatira’s chief executive, Ian Frame, will join

Konnect’s board initially, with a further Rangatira director to be appointed to the Konnect Board in 2013.

With this latest investment, Rangatira has this year committed around $15 million to five early stage high-growth ventures. They include: online accounting software provider Xero ($800,000), Partners Life ($4.5m), Valar Ventures investment fund ($1.5m), Movac 3 investment fund ($2.5m) and Konnect ($5.5m). These five investments will account for about 10% of Rangatira’s total investment portfolio.

Rangatira says it is looking for further investment opportunities and  still has about $20million available.
