HackAotearoa [WLG]: Co-working for startup builders
Wellington, it's your turn.
HackAotearoa is a free fortnightly co-working day for startup founders, indie hackers, designers and makers building their own thing.
We started in Auckland in March: 100+ builders through the door since, and now it's coming to Wellington in partnership with What Founders Want.
On any given Friday there's someone launching a website, someone wiring up an AI agent, someone chasing first customers, someone rewriting a pitch. Different projects, same fight.
What people come for:
Momentum. A full day carved out to ship, next to people doing the same
Accountability. Say what you're building at 9:30, show where it got to by 3:30
Feedback. Demo to people who get it - progress, not polish
Getting unstuck. Someone in the room has hit your problem before: pricing, landing pages, that 2pm bug
Community. Building your own thing is lonely. This is the fix.
Not a hackathon: no shared challenge, no teams, no prize, nothing to prepare. Bring whatever you're already building - or just an idea and a laptop.
The day:
9:00 - doors open, coffee, grab a desk
9:30 - rolling intro circle: who you are, what you're building, what you want to get done today
4:00 - demos: 5 minutes each, progress not polish
5:00 - wrap up, or keep working if you're in the zone
Hosted by Lane Litz (What Founders Want).
Free, BYO laptop. We take photos for socials - tell the host if you'd rather not be in them.
