Icehouse Ventures and Humankind have partnered to launch Foundations for Going Global: A Talent Playbook, a practical resource for exceptional Kiwi founders and leadership teams scaling internationally from Aotearoa.

Global expansion demands capital and ambition, alongside leadership capability, structural clarity, and teams aligned for performance. This playbook focuses on the people foundations that enable performance as companies scale.

From your first offshore hire to maintaining culture across a distributed team, it addresses the key inflection points that shape international growth.

Supported by eight practical templates and frameworks, the playbook equips founders with the tools to translate international opportunity into sustained performance.
