Whether you’re an early founder with just an idea, a professional ready to jump to the startup space, or a founder who has been in the trenches for years **Kiwis Den** is your local hub. **Join our WhatsApp Group:** [https://chat.whatsapp.com/KJPtHiq5XAoGr8ckRE9B1k?mode=hqrt3](https://chat.whatsapp.com/KJPtHiq5XAoGr8ckRE9B1k?mode=hqrt3) Entrepreneurship can be lonely (especially in Auckland), and meeting new people can feel daunting. We have one simple rule: **Come as you are.** * Bring your awkwardness. * Bring your "pre-seed" jitters. * Just be yourself. * Outfit: Keep it casual. No suits or "corporate armor" required—just wear what you’re comfortable in. This is a **purely social experience** designed to help founders and innovators become friends and build connections. There’s no formal networking agenda and no pressure to pitch. It’s a place to find like minded people, meet a potential co-founder, or spark your next bright idea over a casual dinner. **The Plan** We meet fortnightly at 6:00 PM. The goal is simple: connect with the local founder community in a relaxing, low-pressure environment. Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and say hi. **Quick Details** * **Meeting Point:** The Hilton Auckland. * **Time:** 6:00 PM. * **Frequency:** Every two weeks! * **Cost:** Free to join (just pay for your own drinks/food). * **RSVP:** If you plan to come, drop a message on WhatsApp to **+64 20 111 1196**. **Note on Community:** > **Consistency is key:** Even if only a few people show up, we’ll be there! **Photos:** We love a good group selfie.
