AUT Startup Club

We are an entrepreneurial and business-minded student community, built on the belief that innovation thrives when people are empowered to explore, create, and connect. Led by students, for students, the AUT Startup Club is an inclusive and collaborative space where aspiring entrepreneurs, creatives, and changemakers come together to share ideas, gain real-world insights, and turn their visions into ventures.
Founded in June 2020, our club has grown into a vibrant network of over 250 students and alumni from diverse backgrounds and disciplines. Whether you're just curious about startups or already working on your own business, we welcome everyone—no prior experience required.
Through engaging speaker events, hands-on workshops, networking sessions, and collaborative projects, we aim to bridge the gap between classroom learning and the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship. Join us to gain practical skills, meet like-minded peers, connect with industry professionals, and become part of a supportive community that celebrates bold thinking and action.
