People say all the time that they are in the business of community, but it’s important to really understand what they’re meaning because the spectrum is broad and can differ widely. Excellent definition here 👏

Our final session from 2022 was the CE’s Panel with @samgtgribben from @MelodicsHQ, @YoungLy from @Serato and InMusic NZ’s @Morgandonocoro reflecting on insights and learnings from building their companies from Aotearoa. youtu.be/5YM4kjOYCPo

What makes a music city? @simianaudio sat down with @AKLcityofmusic Mark Roach, @djrobwarner & @saveourvenuesnz @partydadnz to discuss the opportunities and challenges for Tamaki Makaurau, from daytime music tech scene to night time music economy. m.youtube.com/watch?v=7IYe1m…

In awe of @allivsamson (@KamiApp), @jarnottneenee (#fibrefale), and @ZTimbrell (#PamFergussonTrust). Supporting our next gen entrepreneurs comes down to education, equity, and allowing people to thrive for who they are, and not who we want them to be. #Sunrise @blackbirdvc

A Positive Sum game is one where we ALL win. As a founder, you need all kinds of support to win at the startup game - not just financial. Networks, community, mentorship, intellectual - it ALL counts. PSUM recognises + rewards our community for ALL the value they add. JOIN US 🚀

We're hosting a welcome/info session for Positive Sum DAO this Wed/Thu (NZST). Interested in the intersection of Web3, DAOs, & more open startup communities - come join us! Super-early days, lots of opps to get involved as we explore the space together! lu.ma/ps-welcome-1

1/ After founding & launching a #DAO over the last 3 months and trying my hardest to stick to the best-practice rhetoric around community first, product second - I'm starting to realise that only feels right for social DAOs and not all DAOs, esp. service DAOs.

We’ve been privileged to help establish the Positive Sum community - can’t wait to see what Season 1 brings. #startups #community #web3 #dao

Perfect Loudness - By Day kicking off! First up a convo on building products in NZ’s music tech ecosystem. #perfectloudness2022

This Wednesday and Thursday. Don’t miss out!

We've been a little quiet on the socials lately, but mainly because we've been head down on a bunch of projects. This one in particular is close to our hearts... taking a fresh look at startup community and the possibilities opened up by Web3. Many good things to come!

It's been a decade in the making, but the Auckland City Mission - Te Tāpui Atawhai's new home - HomeGround - has finally opened its doors. rnz.co.nz/programmes/the…
