What if that idea you've been thinking about is wo What if that idea you've been thinking about is worth exploring?

Maybe you've spotted a problem that needs solving.

Maybe you have a skill, passion, or perspective you want to share with the world.

Maybe you keep feeling drawn to entrepreneurship but aren't quite sure where to start.

That's exactly why Startup NZ scholarships exist. 🔥

The Startup NZ Entrepreneurs Programme takes participants from idea to launch, covering both the business foundations and entrepreneurial mindset needed to turn ideas into action.

You don't need to have it all figured out.

You simply need the willingness to explore what's possible.

We're also inviting community leaders to connect. If you see potential in your community, a desire, an inner fire you want to support, you can bring a group together. And through the programme creating shared learning, support, and momentum along the way.

Because great ideas exist everywhere.

Sometimes all they need is an opportunity to grow. 

Apply for a scholarship and let's see where it takes you!

What do a tradie, a tech company, and an economic What do a tradie, a tech company, and an economic development agency have in common?

They're all helping create opportunities for the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Our Startup NZ sponsors come from all backgrounds. Some are solo operators. Others are international organisations.

What unites them is a belief that stronger entrepreneurs help create stronger communities.

Their support proves that impact can come from anywhere and anyone.

That's why we're proud to celebrate them through NZ Entrepreneur, sharing their stories and shining a light on businesses that lead by example.

Because when people see impact in action, they're often inspired to create some of their own.

👉 Growing up in Wellington, Chris Crutchley and Ni 👉 Growing up in Wellington, Chris Crutchley and Nick Bartlett were sporting rivals long before they became global business partners. Today, the duo are the masterminds behind @wayfindr.io, a trailblazing fourth-party logistics (4PL) company that has quietly disrupted traditional international supply chain models from its base in Hong Kong.

👏 It is a classic story of Kiwi ingenuity, relentless grit, and a refusal to take no for an answer. Spending Saturdays playing rugby and cricket against each other in their youth, neither predicted they would eventually stand on the doorstep of global commerce, redefining how products move across the world.

Creativity Grounded Through Entrepreneurship Stud Creativity Grounded Through Entrepreneurship

Students at Broadwood Area School, recipients of Startup NZ Entrepreneurs Programme scholarships, have been putting their learning into practice by creating their own personalised oil essences using specialist equipment.

It's a wonderful example of entrepreneurship in action.

Not as theory.
Not as a future possibility.

But as experimentation, creation, learning, and discovery.

When young people can test ideas, create products, and learn from the process, they build confidence, curiosity, and the belief that they can create something of value.

Applied learning is one of the most powerful forms of learning. 

It's an honour to help make opportunities like this possible, thanks to our mighty Sponsors. Entrepreneurship is at the heart of a vibrant community, activating our creativity, inventivity and 'can do' attitude.

Innovation Starts Earlier Than We Think Some youn Innovation Starts Earlier Than We Think

Some young people are already learning how to think critically, analyse real business challenges, and present bold ideas with confidence.

That’s exactly what NZSSCC is helping create.

As New Zealand’s leading secondary school case competition, NZSSCC gives students the opportunity to work through real-world business cases, think creatively, and pitch sustainable solutions to a panel of industry judges, all while building confidence, professionalism, communication, and problem-solving skills.

What makes it even more powerful is that the programme is student-led.
Built by past participants, for future participants. 💛

Not every participant will choose entrepreneurship, and that’s not the point.

The competition is helping students build a mindset and skillset that will support them wherever their future takes them. And for those who do become interested in entrepreneurship later on, Startup NZ is proud to help provide pathways and support through scholarships and mentoring.

We’re also proud to be one of the judges supporting the event alongside other industry leaders who believe in backing emerging talent early.

Because when young people are given opportunities to challenge themselves and engage with real-world problems, the impact extends far beyond the competition itself. ✨

Impact strengthens growth. Growth strengthens impa Impact strengthens growth.
Growth strengthens impact.

That’s the kind of momentum Startup NZ Sponsors are helping create. ✨

By showcasing their business through NZ Entrepreneur, sponsors are increasing visibility, building trust, and positioning themselves as leaders in conversations that matter.

But the impact goes further.

Their support also helps fund Startup NZ scholarships — giving emerging entrepreneurs access to the guidance, frameworks, and opportunities needed to grow meaningful ideas into real impact. 💛

It becomes a positive upward spiral:

Businesses grow stronger visibility and connection.
Founders gain access and opportunity.
Communities benefit from stronger leadership, innovation, and ideas.

A true triple win. 

We’re looking for more sponsors who want to grow their business while helping shape the next wave of entrepreneurs.
