Why We Started

In a world where the business landscape is changing at rapid pace, it’s ever more important for startups to stay ahead of the curve with refreshed, diverse perspectives and access to leading talent. Not only in the form of their employees, but also in the governing bodies that direct them.

As we all know, finding the best talent is not always easy and relies on great community and network.

At the same time, without that community and network, it can be a long road to break into the mould as an independent director for high potential leaders.

OnBoard was created to build this community and network, and to address these gaps.

We’re on a mission to bring fresh expertise and diversity of thought to startup boards today, and to build a pipeline of future independent directors of tomorrow. All with the greater purpose of propelling New Zealand’s tech startup eco-system forward.

If you’re a startup board that’s looking for that extra edge, or top tech talent determined to add value in startup governance, OnBoard is made for you.
