Ministry of Awesome's mission is to grow economic prosperity in New Zealand through startup innovation. We support startup founders in three ways: communities, events, and programmes.
We are headquartered in Ōtautahi Christchurch with staff in all three major NZ metro areas and founders from Northland to Southland. Ministry of Awesome operates Startup Aotearoa, a nationally-coordinated 1:1 coaching service for idea-stage founders, Founder Catalyst, a sector-agnostic, six to nine-month deep support programme achieving commercial outcomes, and Electrify Aotearoa, a national conference dedicated to championing and supporting women founders.
