Mission and Vision #

🌱 Our Mission #

To empower purpose-driven startups through ethical, sustainable, and open technology consulting.

We aim to remove barriers to entry for founders who are building projects in the public interest. By offering critical digital infrastructure (domains, email, code hosting, etc.) and consulting at low or no cost, we enable these ventures to focus on what matters most: delivering impact.

🌍 Our Vision #

We envision a world where:

• New ventures with a social mission can access trustworthy, privacy-conscious tools without being locked into commercial ecosystems.
• Open-source practices are embraced not just in code, but in governance, documentation, and decision-making.
• Communities and syndicates form around shared infrastructure, with mutual support and aligned values at the core.
• Purpose-driven technology is the default, not the exception.

🤝 Why We Exist #

Too often, early-stage projects fail due to tool bloat, unclear governance, or burnout. By creating a nurturing environment with just-enough structure, startmeup.nz becomes a scaffolding for these ideas to take root and grow.

We’re not here to “scale fast and break things” — we’re here to start small and build sustainably.
