Story
Twelve years, two exchanges, one company.
We met at a church in Auckland and started Pushpay in 2011, a mobile giving app we sold one congregation at a time. Chris ran the company and Eliot ran sales. Pushpay listed on the NZX in 2014 and the ASX in 2016, moved its headquarters to Redmond, Washington, and was taken private in 2023 for about NZ$1.5 billion.
Eliot stepped back in 2018 and began investing, leading First AML’s seed round the following year. Chris handed over as CEO in 2019 and founded Leadr in Plano, Texas, in 2020.
Good Order is the two of us working together again: hands-on go-to-market work with a few companies at a time, and early-stage investment in founders we believe in, usually alongside funds and always with our time included.
