This year’s International Women’s Day theme is about empowering the next generation of women and creating a future where no one is left behind.

We’d like to bring together some of the incredible wāhine in Aotearoa’s thriving startup ecosystem—those who have blazed trails and those who are just getting started—to connect and share stories over lunch. Bridging the gap that can exist between the women inspiring the next generation of startup founders and operators, and the next-gen themselves.

It’s free to attend, and conversations will be informal. We’ll also share attendees’ names and backgrounds with the group to encourage connections to extend beyond an IWD lunch.

We hope you’ll join us.

If you know someone who would be great to have in the room, we’d love to hear.
