Tā Koha Launch

Innovation - The Tā Koha Platform

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.

Te Wahi - The Location

Our event will be hosted in the prestigious Nau Mai Room at the National Office of Te Puni Kokiri
