Electrify Aotearoa

Globally, women only represent 1 in every 5 startup founders, despite research showing women-led startups are more capital-efficient, achieve 35% higher return on investment, and, when venture-backed, bring in 12% higher revenue than their male counterparts. 

Women will start, shape, and build the future of Aotearoa industry, but change needs to come faster.  

Spearheaded by Ministry of Awesome and Blackbird Ventures, the all-day conference Electrify Aotearoa is the rallying call for Aotearoa’s founders, aspiring entrepreneurs and early-stage startups to take part and celebrate our homegrown diversity. 

You’ll hear stories of grit and Kiwi ingenuity from those who have gone before you and learn from exclusive masterclasses with top practitioners and investors to level up your startup experience.

Brooke Roberts from Sharesies, Alliv Samson COO of award winning startup Kami, and Yabble’s Kathryn Topp are amongst the list of keynote speakers alongside the movers and shakers of Aotearoa’s startup scene. 

Whether you've got startup ambition, are just getting started, or are already going global - come and meet your home team, get connected, and get growing.
