Andy Hamilton, Co Founder - Manaaki

As a lover and supporter of small businesses, after many years at The Icehouse, Andy fell into building a platform during 2020 lockdown that would support small businesses with advice and support to get through challenging situations.  Today this wonderful organisation is known as Manaaki which brings together over 330 advisors and thousands of small businesses to support and have a positive impact.  Andy shares some of the trials and tribulations relating to their current capital raise to have even further impact and letting go of the rejection when investors say no.  With the knowing that “opportunities never shout, they whisper” he encourages us all to tune in, observe and take action.
