VincentCapitalCommit$900,000ToCharities

The directors of Vincent Capital, Leo and Vincent, met whilst they were at university and where they set up their first business together selling mobiles to fellow students. This partnership, with a foundation in education, , has subsequently taken them around the world with different ventures within the IT and Property industries.

Vincent Capital believe that the successful future of New Zealand starts with children. We have chosen to focus on the education sector to give back to New Zealand and are pleased to announce a $900,000 + fund to support several charities over the coming 3 years.

Vincent Capital is committed to expanding our philanthropic fund as we grow our business. We look forward to helping support a great New Zealand future.
