Really interesting set of pitches tonight at Smart Seeds here in Auckland.

It was great to see so many ideas centered around social entrepreneurship and community impact.

The pitch format itself was very innovative — more like a stage play, with each team member participating in the storytelling. I had never seen that before!

Almost 80% of my conversations with mentors and attendees were about sustainability 🌱 — it’s amazing how central that theme has become.

The hosts Maurice Hoban and Molly Quirke were super high-energy and absolutely hilarious — kept everyone engaged throughout!

Thank you Rikki Stancich for the invite.
