Wellington born technology company Blackpearl Group listed on the NZX Main Board under the ticker BPG on Friday 2 December.

Blackpearl Group Chairman Tim Crown, co-founder of Nasdaq listed Fortune 500 company, Insight Enterprises, says Blackpearl Group is both a technology company and an investment company with enormous opportunity. “Having invested in creating a unique technology platform that can add value to a range of applications, we have an opportunity to innovate into new digital markets.”
Founder and chief executive, Nick Lissette, says the listing on the NZX is a platform for future growth.
“We’ve been asked why the NZX and why now? The NZX’s low cost and low friction listing platform made going public on the NZX the next logical step for the company. And there’s never been a better time to acquire technology companies.”
