Founded seven years ago, Ministry of Awesome now operates out of Te Ohaka, a centre for growth and innovation at the Ara Institute of Canterbury.
Ministry of Awesome was set up by Kaila Colbin, Sacha McMeeking, Sam Johnson and Vicki Buck as a way to make things happen in post-earthquake Christchurch.
It hosts weekly lunch break catch-ups called "Coffee and Jam", Christchurch's longest-running entrepreneurial meet-up.
Awesome marketing manager Vanessa Ortynsky said "Coffee and Jam" sessions were "a great opportunity to connect with members of the tech community and startup ecosystem".
"It is a safe space to pitch your idea and get instant feedback," Ortynsky said.
