NZ Startup Bootcamp

Hi NZ Startup Bootcamp supporters. Unfortunately we have to cancel the event for 2021 due to Covid-19. However, we are hoping to go ahead with it in 2021 - all things going well.

If you were in a team, were signed up to be a judge, speaker, mentor or one of our amazing sponsors - you will hear from us.

Thanks to all who have supported so far. Bring on next year!

Hi NZ Startup Bootcamp supporters,

Due to the evolving COVID-19 situation, it is with considerable regret, that Soda Inc. has made a call to postpone the NZ Startup Bootcamp.

Over the last few weeks we have been keeping a close eye on COVID-19 updates from both the Government and the Ministry of Health. We have also been working closely with our key stakeholder and sponsor, Wintec, to decide if the Bootcamp should be postponed or cancelled due to the unfolding nature of this pandemic.

It is with regret that Soda Inc. has made a call to postpone the NZ Startup Bootcamp until further notice. We are doing this to ensure the health and safety of all involved in this event.

We understand this will be a huge disappointment for sponsors, mentors, speakers, judges, participants, their families/whānau, friends and staff who have been looking forward to this entrepreneurial weekend.

Soda hopes to hold the Bootcamp later in the year and will be in touch with more information as soon as possible.

Jason Lindsey is back by popular demand! We are lucky to have him as a mentor again at this year's NZ Startup Bootcamp!



Jason Lindsey spent almost two decades working in Film & Television. He worked as a Creative Director, and specialised in startup shows at Warner Bros. Entertainment, in Los Angeles, for 7 years.



Since moving to New Zealand with Kiwi wife Kate in 2006, Jason set up a children's Television Network called ZooMoo Canal TV and built shared office space Petridish located in Dunedin.



Jason has a passion for startups and developing leaders who learn through failure to create great successes, so it’s fantastic to have him on board this year!

Introducing Andrea Hammond as a mentor at this year’s NZ Startup Bootcamp!

After a career supported by fantastic mentors - that started in marketing then layered advertising, branding, comms strategy and PR expertise at leading companies and agencies, Andrea and business partner, PR and activation expert Gemma Ross formed Hustle & Bustle in 2013. The advertising, media and PR industries were disrupting at the time and they created a new agency model designed to make the most of their expertise and harness the opportunity to do things differently for clients.

Andrea has worked (and learned) with many successful brands in different categories and is looking forward to helping emerging companies to break through the early hurdles of trying to build brand and demand.

Not everyone knows she's also a SheEO activator and trustee of The Arts Foundation.

It’s a pleasure to have Andrea on board with us this year. We are so excited to have her as a mentor!
