Auckland Bootstrapper's Breakfast / September 2026

Bootstrappers’ Breakfast: Financial Wellbeing for Founders

Building a business comes with big decisions, big opportunities and, sometimes, a fair bit of financial uncertainty.

This month, Bootstrappers’ Breakfast is getting practical about financial wellbeing for founders with Gavin Greaves, Director at Apex Advice.

But rather than sitting through a generic financial advice presentation, you get to help design the session.

What financial questions are on your mind?

Should you be paying yourself more or reinvesting in the business?
How do you protect yourself and your family when your income depends on your business?
What should you be doing with the money you are making?
How do you start building wealth outside your business?
What financial foundations should you have in place as your company grows?

We want to know what you actually want answered.

Help shape the conversation

Take 2–3 minutes to complete our short survey:

The Financial Advice You Wish You Had

Your responses will help Gavin shape the session around the questions, challenges and decisions that matter most to founders and entrepreneurs.

We may also use some of the themes and questions anonymously during the session, so the conversation is as relevant and practical as possible.
