That's an interesting quote on New Zealanders (I am from NZ, but live in SF).
My take on it is that places like NZ are great in that if you can make the jump internationally, you're highly likely to be extremely successful overseas as investing isn't really a thing and the market is so small. The downside is that any investors want more than a pound of flesh for dollar sums that would be seen as laughable in the valley. It's going to be interesting seeing how the sector does over the next ten years - and while it's been great seeing the success of Xero and Pushpay, I'm really excited about the current cohort coming through.
