Calling all new founders and small business owners. Build your entrepreneurial skills and get the guidance you need to launch or grow your startup.

Startup Sessions invite industry experts from across Aotearoa and beyond to prepare you with the entrepreneurial skills needed to launch or grow your startup. If you are looking to upskill and deepen your understanding of what it takes to run your business, you’ve come to the right place.

From marketing hacks and financial modelling to pitching, dive deep into specific topics with our free sessions in-person, from our Wellington office, and online.

Participants do no need to bring laptop, pens or paper – just an open mind, ready to learn. Refreshments and light snacks will be provided.

Session time: 5:30 – 7:00 pm
Cost: Free
Location: Creative HQ | online and in person
