Likely AI edit

Latest comment: 4 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hi - I added the AI generated tag here regarding this edit by HelloHop, which contains strong indicators of LLM use and thus needs review for accuracy/hallucinations, sourcing issues, synthesis/NPOV issues, and any other problems that can arise with AI.

I was going to try to fix this article, but actually a large portion of it is probably AI generated. Encyclopedic Poptart (talk) 11:46, 22 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

COI edit request: Add Icehouse Ventures to "Australia and New Zealand" section

Latest comment: 1 day ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I work for Icehouse Ventures, so per WP:COI I am requesting this change rather than editing the article directly. I propose adding the following sentence to the "Australia and New Zealand" section, after the paragraph on notable startup success stories:

In New Zealand, Icehouse Ventures spun out of The Icehouse business incubator in 2019, having grown out of the Ice Angels angel network that began investing in the early 2000s. As of early 2025 it had NZ$454 million under management and had invested in more than 340 companies.^[1] In November 2025 it closed its NZ$70 million Seed Fund IV, the largest seed fund raised in New Zealand's history.^[2] In May 2026 its NZ$150 million Growth Fund III reached first close, with a consortium of KiwiSaver managers led by Generate investing together in a New Zealand venture fund for the first time.^[3] Its early-stage portfolio includes Halter, Crimson Education, Tracksuit and Hnry.^[1]

Thank you for reviewing. ~2026-43995-86 (talk) 22:30, 10 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
