Soda has a new home on Level 2 of Wintec House. 🏫

We're still in the same building, just a little higher up, and we're loving our new office space.

And there's more exciting news to come! We're looking forward to bringing co-working back to Soda in 2027, creating a welcoming space for entrepreneurs and business owners to work, connect and collaborate.

🏆 And the winner of Growth Lab – Level Up is… Tim Young from Access Quest!

A huge congratulations to Tim, who took out the top prize at Soda's Growth Lab Pitch Night!

Tim is the founder of Access Quest, an innovative business on a mission to make our cities more accessible for everyone. Using purpose-built mapping technology, Access Quest captures detailed information about footpaths, crossings and other accessibility features to help people navigate public spaces safely and confidently.

Tim impressed the judges with his compelling pitch, strong commercial traction and clear understanding of his customers, demonstrating Access Quest's significant potential to transform accessibility in New Zealand and beyond.

He walked away with a $10,000 prize package – including $3,000 cash, $3,500 in Deloitte advisory services and $3,500 in Tompkins Wake legal services to support his next stage of growth. 🚀

Congratulations also to Georgia Johnstone from Rollout Social and Duncan Matthews from Good Numbers, who took out second and third place respectively!

Pitch Night marked the culmination of our Growth Lab – Level Up programme, and we're incredibly proud of all eight founders. It's been fantastic watching their businesses evolve and their confidence grow throughout the programme.

👏 A big thank you to our Pitch Night judges – Elise Andree-Wiltens, Director at Deloitte; Philip Monahan, Partner at Tompkins Wake; and Adam El-Agez, founder of The Conqueror – for sharing their time and expertise.

Special thanks to Dr Fern Kelly-Zander for developing and leading the programme, and Brenna Shepherd for her support in facilitating the workshops.

And a huge thank you to our programme sponsors, Deloitte and Tompkins Wake, for making this opportunity possible.

Congratulations again, Tim! We can't wait to see where Access Quest goes next.

🧾 Paper receipts, emailed receipts, receipts buried in apps...wouldn't it be easier if they were all in one place?

That's exactly what Ashton Norton, founder of , is working to make possible! 💡

Unyceet is developing a universal digital receipt system designed to give shoppers one simple, consistent experience at checkout – wherever they shop. The idea? Your digital receipt is delivered straight to your phone, without the hassle of keeping track of paper receipts, emails or multiple apps. 📱

The inspiration came from Ashton's own frustration with scattered receipts. After discovering there was no universal solution, he decided to build one himself.

Ashton has just completed Soda's Growth Lab – Level Up, where he was focused on taking Unyceet from product development to market validation, strengthening his business model, refining his go-to-market strategy and challenging assumptions as he prepares for the next stage of growth.

Growth Lab – Level Up is proudly supported by Deloitte and Tompkins Wake.

🎵 Making great music is one thing. Getting it heard is another.

And in an industry where social media can make or break a music release, having the right strategy matters.

That’s where Georgia Johnstone comes in.

After almost a decade working in social media, including roles with Universal Music New Zealand and Live Nation Aotearoa, Georgia spotted a gap in the market and launched Rollout - New Zealand’s only dedicated music social media agency.

Working exclusively with musicians, artists, labels and managers, Rollout helps bring music to audiences through strategic release campaigns and day-to-day social media management. Its impressive client list already includes SIX60, Kaylee Bell, Te Wehi and Jim Beam Homegrown.

With a strong start behind her and big ambitions ahead, Georgia joined Soda’s Growth Lab – Level Up to strengthen her business foundations and connect with other ambitious founders.

Growth Lab – Level Up is proudly supported by Deloitte and Tompkins Wake.
