A community for high growth companies building global businesses

Building companies is hard work. Building out into the world is even harder. The Morgo community brings together the CEOs and other leaders of tech and high growth companies going global from Australia and New Zealand to learn from and encourage each other. There are a number of events during the year. The key one is the annual retreat, MORGO. Attendance at all the Morgo events is restricted to the Morgo Community and our sponsoring Partners.

If you are the leader of a tech/high growth company, apply to be part of Morgo today.

Featured Podcasts

Stefan Powell, Dawn Aerospace

The challenge in getting to space is to marry the scalability of the aircraft industry with the performance of spacecraft. That is a scalable, reusable rocket. Dawn Aerospace is currently building a craft that can get to space and back again twice a day. They gained early revenue by building a green fuel propulsion system for in-space mobility - manoeuvring satellites into position. Dawn now employs over 100 people in NZ, the Netherlands & the US.

Bill Buckley, Buckley Systems

Bill Buckley is New Zealand tech royalty. Do listen to this! Buckley Systems makes ion implanters to put the metal into silicon chips (300 lines in the width of a human hair); its ionising machines make all the flat panel screens for your phones, iPads etc; and they make medical devices and R&D machines. These are all based on using huge precision magnets to direct & accelerate ion streams. They ship over 1,000 tonnes per month from Auckland to the world.

Morgo Community Partners

‍Becoming a Morgo Partner gives larger companies and service providers an opportunity to interact with exciting new entrepreneurs who are building our companies of the future. There is plenty for large companies to learn from the drive of these entrepreneurs, including new business models, new ways of engaging employees, the risk-taking and so much more.

MORGO is a start-up event like no other. Founders tackling green hydrogen, affordable spaceflight, self-flying passenger drones, hi-speed foiling water bikes, a pandemic... and software stuff, all come together in a bullshit-free zone.

"The scale of people that Jenny manages to attract to present to the conference is just unbelievable. It's completely different from any other conference because it's more about the community of people who attend. Engaging."

Chris Hogg

We were able to be truly open (and a touch emotional) with a room full of founders and entrepreneurs who understand the rollercoaster journey that building a company entails. I'd recommend people attend this high-quality event if you get a chance.
