Wellington Startup Collective
Are you a Wellington-based founder interested in meeting with people who have already walked the road you're going down? Join us for a friendly networking event with a difference. The format is as follows: After a drink and nibbles, we break into smaller groups. Each person gets the floor for 20 minutes. In that time, they spend the first 5 minutes giving the group context about their work / personal life, and sharing their most pressing challenge, or something they’re struggling with. Then, for the next 15 minutes, the group is allowed to do two things: (1) ask questions, or (2) share a personal experience relevant to their situation. Crucially, no one in the group is allowed to “give advice”.
