October “Done Something” Meetup — Saskia Thornton: Founder Talk

The October Done Something Meetup from DOSO features an honest founder conversation with Saskia Thornton, whose background includes launching Mad Millie, scaling Grainfather internationally and co-founding electric motorcycle company FTN Motion. She will talk about building businesses, making decisions, learning from failures, defining success, brand building, balancing parenthood and her recent move from Amsterdam back to Taranaki. Pizza and drinks are provided.

It takes place on Wednesday 28 October 2026 at Manifold Coworking Space, 49 Currie Street, New Plymouth, with the event page listing a 5:30pm to 7:00pm session. It is a relaxed chance for Taranaki founders, entrepreneurs and the local startup community to network.
