Entrepreneurs of Aotearoa is designed for small business founders who are building, operating and growing businesses with fewer than five employees and less than $500,000 in annual revenue.

Unlike many startup programmes that focus on venture capital, high-growth technology companies, or businesses preparing to raise investment, Entrepreneurs of Aotearoa is built for everyday entrepreneurs.

Whether you're launching a side project, growing a service business, running an agency, building an e-commerce brand, or working for yourself, you'll find a community of people facing similar challenges and opportunities.

You may be a good fit if you:

  • Run a business with fewer than 5 employees
  • Generate less than $500,000 NZD in annual revenue
  • Want to connect with other founders and business owners
  • Are interested in investing in your own professional development

You may not be a good fit if you:

  • Need specialist startup incubation or acceleration support
  • Are actively looking for investment or raising venture capital
  • Run a larger, established business with a sizeable team
  • Prefer networking with corporate leaders and larger business owners
