Standing on stage at the Embassy Theatre in Wellington
What an exciting day of nerves and build up.
This is what we’d been working the last 3 months for. The build up to pitch our business in front of a room of 800 people made up of investors and the Wellington business community. I was standing on the very stage, Peter Jackson petitioned to save and screened the world premier of Lord of the Rings in New Zealand. The tension and excitement built as eight women and one man waited nervously off-stage in the “green room” for our turn to share our 3-month journey.
For me, this was the moment to share why I was so passionate about Hive and connecting people who need a hand with those who have the time and skills to help. But it’s more than exchanging time and money. It’s empowering people to live the life they deserve.
