HackAotearoa [AKL]: Co-working for startup builders

Building solo, together — in a new, vibey location K'Rd this Friday 30 Oct!A free fortnightly co-working day for startup founders, indie hackers, designers and makers building their own thing.

On any given Friday there's someone launching a website, someone wiring up an AI agent, someone chasing first customers, someone rewriting a pitch. Different projects, same fight.

What people come for:

Momentum. A full day carved out to ship, next to people doing the same

Accountability. Say what you're building at 9:30, show where it got to by 3:30

Feedback. Demo to people who get it - progress, not polish

Getting unstuck. Someone in the room has hit your problem before: pricing, landing pages, that 2pm bug

Community. Building your own thing is lonely. This is the fix.

Not a hackathon: no shared challenge, no teams, no prize, nothing to prepare. Bring whatever you're already building - or just an idea and a laptop.

The day:

9:00 - doors open, coffee, grab a desk

9:30 - rolling intro circle: who you are, what you're building, what you want to get done today

3:00 - demos: 5 minutes each, progress not polish

4:00 - wrap up, or keep working if you're in the zone

Free, BYO laptop. We take photos for socials - tell the host if you'd rather not be in them.

Coworking space hosted by Kaiba on Karangahape Rd — meet in the lobby to be let in to their office by one of our hosts (message us if you arrive after 9:30).
