HackAotearoa [AKL]: Co-working for startup builders

A change of scenery, good company, and space to work on what matters to you. Sometimes, all you need is a change of scenery and a little company to get back into your flow. Join us for a co-working day with the From Scratch crew at Icehouse Ventures. Bring along whatever you’re working on, whether it’s building a business, exploring a new idea, working on a creative project, or figuring out your next chapter. There’s no agenda, no pressure to network, and no need to have it all figured out. Just a welcoming space to focus on your own work, take breaks for good conversations, exchange ideas, and connect with other women who are building something of their own. What to expect A shared space to focus and get things done Good company and conversations over breaks Opportunities to exchange ideas and support one another A lunch break together: bring your own lunch or grab something nearby A chance to meet more of the lovely women in the From Scratch community Who is it for?

If you’re curious, ambitious, or simply looking for a little community while figuring things out, you belong here. Come as you are, bring what you’re working on, and let’s make a day of it. 💚 We can’t wait to see you! Who's behind From Scratch? Hi :) We're A-Chau and Katharina.

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 21 – ROCHELLE MOFFITT | Founder, Decibel & Revved Be a Disco Ball: How to create your own luck, get noticed, and light up every room you walk into Rochelle Moffitt has spent the last few years turning her own name into her business - twice starting from nothing, and twice building it back bigger. She doesn't believe luck lands on you. She believes you create it. So many of us wait to be picked, noticed, or given permission before we show up fully - but Rochelle has built her whole career doing the opposite. This conversation is about what actually makes a room remember you, why some people just seem to have all the luck (spoiler… they made it), and how to stop waiting for your moment to start. ROCHELLE MOFFITT Rochelle knows what it takes to turn an empty room - or an empty bank account - into something that lights up. She's the founder of Decibel and co-founder of Revved, and she's spent years teaching women how to be seen, remembered, and sought-after, without shrinking to do it. This session unpacks Rochelle's own framework for creating luck, walking into a room like you own it, and lighting everyone else up while you're at it. Stop waiting for luck. Start designing a life you freaking love. You need to be here. Bring a notebook.
