We kick things off with a kōrero

Just a chat - online or in person. We help you shape your idea into something you can present; or we help you articulate your “ask”. No pressure. No jargon.

We prep you to share your idea

You’ll get the tools and guidance to pull your idea together into a shareable format, ready to present to our investment committee.  

You present

It’s a safe space, no suits, no egos. You don’t need all the answers. Everybody shows up to explore your idea with you, and help you find your next step.

Take a look at the Investment Committee nearest you - they’re amazing

We get curious

To understand the full picture, we ask good questions: where you started, where you’re at, and where you’re trying to get to. (and everything in-between)

You get expert advice

After the session, we’ll pull together a personalised “map” to help you navigate your next steps. It includes:

Bespoke, experienced feedback

Practical actions

Connections to people who can keep you moving

You move forward - with clarity

Whether it’s refining an idea, building a team or chasing funding, we help you do it smarter - not solo

And yup, it’s free (shoutout to MBIE for backing the next gen of entrepreneurs)
