Nectar kicks off Series A
Nectar kicked off its Series A capital raising this week and is raising $4m at a pre-money valuation of $20m. So far, $500k has been committed to the round by existing shareholders.
$1m will be allocated to accelerate scaling of the business and improve Nectar’s automated end-to-end processing capability.
$3m of the raise will be allocated to support the expansion of our loan book. This is expected to enable us to grow the loan book from the current $27m to ~$50m – $60m (estimated by Q2 2023).
The market opportunity continues to be strong for digital lending businesses with incumbents continuing to lose market share. Nectar’s technology driven approach to lending is continuing to allow us to take customers away from our competitors with 3,400+ active customers.
Nectar is performing strongly on all operating metrics and today has been no exception. The team has had a storming Friday, funding in excess of NZ$250k – one of Nectar’s best ever days! Nectar is on track to continue the strong growth the business has seen throughout 2022. Monthly revenue is ~$600k and we are close to operational breakeven.
Market conditions are favouring lenders such as Nectar that use risk-based pricing to account for market risk and the volume of applications Nectar is currently receiving is significantly above our current ability to fund the loans.
Full details of Nectar’s capital raise can be found here.

Knightsbridge’s Head of Capital is careful to call that a different risk rather than a lower one, and his answer to it is spread, not concentration. Most alternative assets still answer to something. Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]
The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not
Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface. An Australian vendor listing a home pays a vendor-paid advertising fee on top of agency commission. Rama Dwarapudi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RealSearch, puts a typical […]
Reinventing the Condom: How an Australian Deep-Tech Startup Plans to Disrupt a $12 Billion Market
For more than half a century, the global condom industry has remained fundamentally unchanged, constrained by standard materials like latex and solid synthetic polymers. Despite widespread consumer demand for better alternatives, product design has treated the device strictly as a mechanical barrier, sacrificing feel for function. Sydney-based Eudaemon Technologies is setting out to upend that […]
