Electrify Accelerator is where you will have the opportunity to work alongside some of NZ’s most successful women founders, leading investors, and startup specialists. You will get the support you need, learn new skills, and build a network that will allow you to achieve your incredible dreams.

There are approximately 2,500 high-growth startups in NZ, but ONLY 21.6% have women on the founding team. And when women are part of a startup's founding team, the data shows that the chances for success increase as well as the magnitude of that success. In short, Aotearoa and the world needs YOU. Powered by the Ministry of Awesome, Electrify Accelerator is a world-class programme designed for each founder's unique needs. No matter your life situation, this 12-week programme will help you turbocharge your early-stage venture in ways you previously thought impossible.

Demo Day is the last part of the accelerator where the national innovation community turns out to celebrate your success.

This is your opportunity to sell your vision to your peers, the startup community, and national and international investors.

On 22 June we’re bringing together the startup community to cheer on 20 fantastic female founders as they pitch their startup to the world!
