“We are sitting on a wealth of talent, already hired, already in the room, that has never been asked to speak.”

When you give to Unlock Innovation, you're not just funding a startup; you're fueling a redesign of how New Zealand values difference.
We exist to uncover the hidden potential in dyslexic thinkers, to create environments where their brilliance isn't masked by outdated systems, but unlocked.
Your contribution goes toward transformation: of teams, of workplaces, of lives. We’re not building a safety net. We’re building a launchpad.
Skill-Sharers & System-Shakers
"I know what my skills are, and I know what I'm jolly well not good at, and so looking for people who can balance me is really important. It's fundamental to being able to make progress, and being open about what you can't do is important. It seems that there's more and more I can't do, because I don't want to do it. But is that a bad thing? Because if you don't want to do something, you're going to do it badly or too slowly. So this is part of team building isn't it? You build what you need."

This work doesn’t move because of money alone. It moves because of people who get it.
We are constantly lifted by a community of generous minds and makers: coders, designers, facilitators, connectors, systems thinkers, and builders of bridges.
If you see the gaps before others do, and dream of redesigning what work feels like, this is your invitation. Share your time, your reach, your tools, your instincts. Bring what you’ve got.
Corporate Sponsor
"We can recruit all we like into a bad culture and that is where it'll stop. They'll come in and they'll fly out. We've seen evidence of this over the years. Many dyslexic people are attracted to the technology sector, but if they're not seen and heard, then they fly out."

We partner with bold organisations ready to move past “diversity as a metric” toward difference as a competitive advantage.
Whether it’s transforming your hiring mindset, reimagining leadership pipelines, or embedding neuroinclusive design at every level, we’ll work with you to unlock the talent you didn’t know you had.
Sponsoring our work isn’t about optics; it’s about futureproofing your culture with cognitive diversity at the core.
