What an incredible night we had hosting the First Cut Roadshow 2024 event! It was amazing to see so many talented founders and aspiring entrepreneurs under 30 coming together to share their ideas and passions while networking and listening to an inspiring panel of CEOs - Dean Hall (RocketWerkz), Lucy Blakiston (Shit You Should Care About), Grace Stratton (All is for All), and Ezekiel Raui (One New Zealand). A big thank you to Steph Benseman and the all Icehouse Ventures team for organizing such a fantastic event and allowing us to host it at our breathtaking studio right in the heart of Auckland. Here's to the bright future of entrepreneurship in Aotearoa! #FirstCut #Entrepreneurship #Innovation
