Powerhouse Wind powers ahead


Dunedin-based clean tech startup Powerhouse Wind today reached their minimum equity crowdfunding goal on PledgeMe.


“After five years of R&D we’re glad we’re going to be able to move into the next phase of our strategy thanks to the support of our new shareholders,” Powerhouse Wind Powerhouse director Bill Currie said.


“With the support of our crowd, Powerhouse Wind is going to be able to implement its business plan to commercialise the company by bringing on expertise in technical areas as well as sales.”


Currently there is over $409,000 pledged from 79 people. The campaign is capped at $900,000 and will run until 11 PM Thursday 25 June . The campaign can be accessed at https://www.pledgeme.co.nz/investments/114-powerhouse-wind-limited


“We are confident we will get closer to our funding cap in the three days the campaign has to run,” Mr Currie said.


“We have a strong crowd of people out there who are interested in renewable energy.


PledgeMe CEO Anna Guenther said that it was good to see Powerhouse Wind and the other equity campaigns on PledgeMe powering ahead.


“Powerhouse Wind is our third successful equity raise in the past 10 days. PledgeMe is making its mark as the busiest crowdfunding platform in New Zealand,” Ms Guenther said.
