AUCKLAND, Today: Sling & Stone is diving deeper into innovation, launching a new deep tech specialism to back Kiwi startups and scale-ups tackling some of the world’s biggest challenges — and opportunities.
Leading the charge is Tara Pereira, stepping in as Associate Director, Deep Tech & Science. With over five years of experience, she’s helped founders and investors bring big ideas to life — from space to quantum and beyond.
Sling & Stone’s deep tech offering kicks off with WNT Ventures, New Zealand’s longest-running deep tech incubator, now on the agency’s client list. The focus? Early-stage, science-backed companies with world-changing potential.

“The deep tech landscape isn’t just a professional interest for me; it’s a genuine passion. I thrive on the energy of working alongside the brightest minds who are literally inventing the future,” said Tara Pereira, Associate Director, Deep Tech & Science.
“These are the technologies that will solve the seemingly unsolvable, propelling us to new heights – from feeding a growing population to reaching for the stars.
