HackAotearoa Queenstown: Co-working for startup builders

​Queenstown & Wanaka, 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: 150+ 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 10:30, 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:

• ​10:00 - doors open, coffee, grab a desk

• ​10:30 - rolling intro circle: who you are, what you're building, what you want to get done today

• ​3:00 - demos: 5 minutes each, progress not polish

• ​4:00 - wrap up
