There’s a network of incredible leaders across Aotearoa delivering programmes and initiatives to support the growth of entrepreneurs and the wider startup ecosystem.

Icehouse Ventures are hosting a series of workshops and events, all designed for programme directors and managers to gain inspiration, knowledge and connect with one another. Topics include:
‍
An Evolving Ecosystem New Zealand’s startup ecosystem is regularly compared to the early days of Silicon Valley. Hear from entrepreneurs and investors whose experience can help us better understand the potential possibilities of the ecosystem we’re working to develop.

‍Transformational Value for Founders Many of Aotearoa’s top entrepreneurs have completed your programmes. Hear from those who launched through an accelerator or university and have since scaled into a sustainable business on what really makes an impact at the early-stages.

Sustainable Revenue Streams The potential value we want to deliver to entrepreneurs can often be held back by access to funding. This session showcases alternative funding options that help build sustainable programmes.

‍Building Early-stage Teams A strong team for an early-stage startup can be the key ingredient for success. This session covers what roles matter most early on and how you can support startups to prioritise and discover the most valuable hires and advisors.
