Entrepreneurship can be lonely (especially in Auckland), and meeting new people can feel daunting. We have one simple rule: Come as you are.

• Bring your awkwardness.
• Bring your "pre-seed" jitters.
• Just be yourself.
• Outfit: Keep it casual. No suits or "corporate armor" required—just wear what you’re comfortable in.

This is a purely social experience designed to help founders and innovators become friends and build connections. There’s no formal networking agenda and no pressure to pitch. It’s a place to find like minded people, meet a potential co-founder, or spark your next bright idea over a casual dinner.

The Plan

We meet fortnightly at 6:00 PM. The goal is simple: connect with the local founder community in a relaxing, low-pressure environment. Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and say hi.
