Tā Koha emerged as a need for more capital options for Māori and was co-created in a relationship between NZ's foremost leaders in crowdfunding - PledgeMe (New Zealand's first crowdfunding platform) & Māori Womens Development Inc (a Charitable Trust focused on supporting wāhine Māori and their whānau to succeed in business).
11 Maori social enterprises have been on a three month journey, learning about the fundamentals of crowdfunding - how to gather, connect with and engage their crowd to fund what they care about.
Join us to learn about how Tā Koha works. Be inspired by the first wave of Māori using Tā Koha to launch their own unique crowdfunding campaigns. This is their story and we invite you to become part of their story too.
Kīrehu Creative’s mission is to ‘let us take you home’. Through leading innovative technology like 360 camera, VR, AR and also drone technology we intend to capture our taonga, our whenua, our sites of significance and with AR and VR present it back to whānau in a creative and interactive way that promotes engagement and reconnection.
Our vision is to keep our history alive for future generations by developing digital technology and tourism products in Tolaga Bay. Our mission is empowering our own to regenerate our communities from within and to preserve our heritage by utilising the Inn as a vehicle for economic, social and cultural development. We are also collaborating with key organisations and companies to create opportunities for the East Coast.
Flo is short for 'Flourish', and is about levelling the playing field so that all kids can flourish in life. It’s very much about the community – about connecting lovers of lifestyle and activewear through fashion to the very important social problem of child poverty. Flo is more than a brand – it’s about making a statement that this is who you are and what you stand for.
‘Stay Native’ is an online tourism platform, connecting travellers to authentic indigenous experiences. Our hosts are all tangata whenua, with stories, talents and hidden treasures to share. We enhance wealth creation for Māori by providing them with the opportunities, the support and the tools to facilitate high quality, and unique experiences for their manuhiri.
