About us
Built for locals, powered by community.
FindAKiwi is the community-first way to discover and support the businesses that shape local New Zealand.
Our story
Why FindAKiwi exists
FindAKiwi was created with a simple purpose: to make it easier for people to discover and support the businesses that shape their local communities. Whether you are a resident exploring what is around you or a business owner trying to reach your audience, FindAKiwi is your local hub.
Many local businesses struggle to get visibility online. They get overshadowed by national chains, buried on big search engines, or lack the tools to promote themselves effectively. FindAKiwi was built to change that.
We believe every neighbourhood has incredible entrepreneurs, from family-owned shops and home-service experts to passionate creators and rising startups, all contributing to the heart of the community. FindAKiwi exists to bring them forward and make them easier for locals to find and support.
