Do you have a business idea you've been thinking about?

Maybe you're already self-employed, running a small business, or wondering what it takes to start one in New Zealand.

We're bringing together members of the Latin community for an evening of connection, conversation, and practical advice about building a business in Queenstown Lakes.

Hear from local entrepreneurs about their journeys, Queenstown Lakes District Council about economic diversification and learn about the support available, ask questions in English or Spanish, and meet others on a similar journey.

Everyone is welcome, whether you're just getting started or already in business.

You've got an idea that involves AI. You've probably also got a running list of things you'd need to learn before you could even start.

What if that list is shorter than you think?

Some of the most interesting things being built right now weren't built by developers. They were built by people who got curious, started poking at things, and figured out how far they could go before needing help.

Join us next month in Wanaka for a practical session on how to vibe code an idea

We’re giving away a ticket to Electrify – a two-day experience for women founders, investors and supporters in Auckland this June – and we're looking for your ideas on who gets it.

Tag a high-impact wāhine in your network and tell us in one sentence what she’s building or championing. The nomination that stops us in our tracks wins ($399 value).

Electrify is two days of speakers, workshops, curated investor access, and the kind of connection that moves things forward.

Nominate someone in the comments. Entries close 20 April.
