From Scratch Founder Retreat | Expression of Interest

A weekend to pause, reconnect, and build alongside other women founders.

We're exploring our very first From Scratch Founder Retreat later this year.

As founders, we're constantly building, solving problems and looking ahead. This retreat is an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, reflect on what's next, and spend quality time with a small group of ambitious women founders.

Expect a balance of meaningful conversations, workshops, time in nature, great food, and space to think - leaving feeling more connected, inspired and energised.

We're still shaping the experience and would love your input before we open bookings.

What we're thinking

A weekend retreat

Small group (10–15 founders)

Somewhere within a few hours of Auckland

If this sounds like something you'd love to be part of, register your interest below before Friday, August 31st at 11.59 pm (NZT). We'll keep you updated as we shape the retreat and you'll be the first to hear when applications open.

What is From Scratch?

From Scratch is a community of ambitious women building businesses, launching ideas, and creating new paths.

Starting something from scratch can be challenging, but it’s easier with a community that understands the journey. We bring together women who are building, experimenting, and growing to share insights, support each other through challenges, and celebrate the wins along the way.

Whether you’re launching a startup, growing a business, freelancing, exploring an idea, or making a bold career move - From Scratch is a space to connect, learn, and build alongside like-minded women.

Who's behind From Scratch?

Hi :) We're A-Chau and Katharina. We both are in the process of starting again From Scratch and are interested in helping others do the same.

Looking forward to meeting you!
