We couldn’t ask for a better home for Startup Weekend Wellington – November 2025 than The Atom - Te Kahu o Te Ao and Wellington School of Business and Government.
The Atom has been quietly and powerfully creating the conditions for Wellington’s next wave of founders to connect and grow— a place where curiosity meets opportunity. And is fast becoming the city’s precinct for innovation and entrepreneurship for non-funded and early-stage founders, students, and anyone ready to take that first leap into startup life.
And this November, they’re taking things nuclear. ⚛️
🚀 Introducing The Fission Project — launching at Startup Weekend Wellington.
Not an accelerator. A launch field.
Born out of and powered by The Atom, The Fission Project gives founders freedom, focus, and momentum — not structure for structure’s sake.
Running through December and January, it’s where the energy and connections from Startup
Weekend don’t fade — they fuse.
💡 Workspace access, daily lunches, light-touch mentoring, and on-demand learning — everything early-stage builders need to keep the momentum alive long after the 54 hours are over.
