Soda Inc. is once again gearing up for their biggest event of the year, the NZ Startup Bootcamp, and has lined up some exceptional judges, mentors and sponsors.

What do you get when you throw together 20 business savvy teams, 48 intense hours, $20,000 in cash prizes, four world class judges, 25 high-profile mentors and three entrepreneurial guest speakers?

That’s right, Soda Inc. is once again gearing up for their biggest event of the year, the NZ Startup Bootcamp brought to you by Wintec. And they’re excited to have already locked in some exceptional judges, mentors and sponsors.

The action-packed weekend will provide a platform for participants to test their entrepreneurial skills, validate an idea or get feedback and exposure on a startup they’re building from talented mentors and business legends.

Applications for a team spot are now open and the Bootcamp will be held at the Wintec Atrium in Central Hamilton over March 27 to 29.

Wintec chief executive, David Christiansen, encourages people with an innovative idea or startup to register their interest.

“Wintec believes in backing opportunities for people from all walks of life to bring their business ideas alive, test their skills, learn from the best and kick start their business careers. We’ve been supporters and sponsors of the NZ Startup Bootcamp since its inception,” he said.

Along with Wintec, other key partners, ASB and Gallagher, have jumped on board to sponsor the two categories; Best Startup and Best New Idea, both with cash prizes of $10,000 for the winning teams.

ASB’s John Wilkinson is a big supporter of the Bootcamp.

“The spirit of the event aligns perfectly with the ASB values; Passion and Courage. The Bootcamp provides a great platform where passionate and courageous people are able to excel in a fast-paced entrepreneurial weekend,” he said.

Participants will have to chance to hear from inspirational speakers such as founder of Let’s Play Live, Duane Mutu, and Hamilton local, Kylie Rae, from Nature and Nosh Tours NZ.

As soon as the 48 hours kicks off the 20 teams will then participate in workshops, build business models, get feedback from mentors and validate their ideas.

At the end of the weekend the teams will pitch their new ideas or existing startups to a panel of world-class judges and an audience of 300 people.

WHEN & WHERE: 27 – 29 March 2019 // The Atrium, Wintec House, Hamilton

CATEGORIES: Gallagher Best Idea = $10,000 cash prize // ASB Best Startup = $10,000 cash prize
