Investment thesis
Startup Dunedin exists to make Dunedin the most entrepreneurial small city by supporting anyone who aspires to start a company locally. Rather than deploying capital, it focuses on easing the startup journey through connections, capability development, and community building. Its values center founders, embrace ideas from anyone and anywhere, and treat both success and failure as parts of innovation. It is a publicly funded ecosystem initiative of the Grow Dunedin Partnership, backed by the Dunedin City Council, the University of Otago, and Otago Polytechnic.
