Spin-out Programme Journey
Founder voices
“The KiwiNet Spin-out Programme gave me all the fundamentals I needed to actually spin out a company. It provided step-by-step guidance and helped ease my fears.
There are a lot of things you don’t know when you haven’t done them before—for example, how do you know if you’re signing a good deal?
Having a trusted mentor by my side made all the difference; someone who could provide that experience and expertise.”
