While some are concerned the younger generation is settling as opposed to striving and investing in their ideas and futures, others believe the worry is unfounded. 

Icehouse Ventures, a venture capital company that backs Kiwi startups, hosted their 15th Annual Showcase last week, in which nine Kiwi founders presented to over 1,500 investors. 

CEO Robbie Paul told Kerre Woodham young founders are coming in droves. 

He says that founders tend to be inspired by looking at other success stories, and there’s more of those now, which is creating more start-ups.
