PARTNER WITH THE GROUND

Fuel the people building
Aotearoa’s future.

Building a company takes more than software — it takes health, focus and local support. Offer a deal on the Ground to back Kiwi founders where it matters most, and gain your most loyal customers for life.

WHY JOIN

What partners gain.

Whatever you sell — a dev tool, an advisory firm, a gym — founders are the customers who compound.

Day-zero brand lock-in

Startups adopt tools, services and habits in their first months that they rarely switch as they scale.

The network effect

Founders are vocal connectors. One who loves your gym, dev tool or advisory firm brings their team and their peers.

Zero-fluff direct reach

No wasted ad spend. Your offer reaches verified builders who are actively spending to grow and stay sharp.

Grassroots brand equity

Be a company that visibly clears the runway for local ambition, rather than one that advertises at it.

Let’s talk.Every partnership is different — a discount, a free tier, a service, or straight support for the platform. Tell us what you do and we’ll work out what fits.
