New Zealand is the most isolated and\r\nexpansive fully developed nation in the world.

With the launch of\r\nLetsLunch in New Zealand on 26th March 2012, Kiwis are going gangbusters to\r\nuse this amazing concept to build meaningful business relationships grow their\r\nnetwork and connect with their community even further.<\/pre>\n<pre><a href=\"http:\/\/letslunch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Capture21.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-363\" title=\"Capture2\" src=\"http:\/\/letslunch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Capture21.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"562\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letslunch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Capture21.png 562w, https:\/\/letslunch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Capture21-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 562px) 100vw, 562px\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nA fully sold out and an exclusive launch party at Auckland\u2019s pristine Viaduct\r\nrestaurant Portofino was organized with a group of 50+ leading entrepreneurs,\r\nbusiness leaders, angel investors, media, politicians &amp; other interesting\r\npersonalities across New Zealand.
