Startup Weekend Ōtaki is back for its second year — a fast-paced, 54-hour sprint where you’ll learn to think, build, and collaborate like a startup. Whether you’re dreaming up a business, launching a kaupapa Māori initiative, or just curious about what it takes to get something off the ground, this weekend is for you. 

Join a mix of creatives, techies, entrepreneurs, and community changemakers. With guidance from experienced mentors and support from a like-minded crew, you’ll take your idea from spark to startup — or at least give it one heck of a jump start. 

Starts: 19 September at 4:30pm

Finishes: 21 September at 8pm
