HUSTLE Auckland Entrepreneur Networking - Pro Active Networking Events
Auckland: The Most Action-Oriented Networking for Ambitious Founders & Entrepreneurs
Your next co-founder. Your first investor. Your biggest client.
They could all be at this event.
If you're building a business — or ready to start one — HUSTLE Auckland is where high-energy entrepreneurs connect, collaborate, and create real opportunities. No fluff. No awkward small talk. Just meaningful connections that move the needle.
Whether you're launching a startup, scaling a side hustle, or raising your first round, this is your chance to meet mentors, investors, future team members, and fellow go-getters who can help you accelerate faster.
Why You Should Come:
- Meet founders, freelancers, and innovators who are doing the work — not just talking about it
- Share ideas, get feedback on your MVP, or find your next business partner
- Discover investor leads, pilot customers, or early adopters for your product
- Walk away with 3–5 valuable new connections (we make sure you actually talk to people)
Perfect For:
Startup founders | Aspiring entrepreneurs | Solopreneurs | Side-hustlers | Freelancers | Investors | Innovators
This is NOT your average “handshake and hope” networking event. We keep it fast-paced, inclusive, and founder-focused — with structured mingling to help you actually meet the right people.
It's FREE to attend — but space is limited and there is the expectation you buy a full priced drink at the bar.
Grab your ticket now before we sell out — again.

About the venue
A Belgian-style pub rated 4.3 from more than 4,000 reviews, mid-priced, open 9am to 11:30pm Monday to Thursday. Reviewers consistently praise the mussels and the Belgian beer list, and describe a characterful room on a pedestrian lane — no traffic noise, and outdoor tables that work in good weather. Reservations are advisable at peak times.
Getting there
The venue is on Vulcan Lane, a pedestrianised alley off Queen Street in the Auckland CBD. Waitematā (formerly Britomart) is five minutes' walk and is the city's main transport hub, linking trains, buses and ferries under one roof — so the venue is reachable from across Auckland and the North Shore. CBD parking is expensive; the transport centre is the better option.
