Poutama is proud to sponsor Kōkiri – a Māori business acceleration programme based on kaupapa Māori values, focused on accelerating early stage Māori led start-ups which are impact positive and technology based.  Applications are NOW OPEN to join the 2022 programme.

If you have a great idea but would like to receive validation around the concept, the Kōkiri pre-accelerator course is the perfect place to begin.  The Kōkiri pre-accelerator course provides a great foundation to test ideas and learn the fundamentals of business.  The Kōkiri pre-accelerator course has the added benefit of being free, 100% online and allows participants to go at their own pace.

Virtual sessions are being held to provide potential participants with a clear understanding of both the Kōkiri pre-accelerator course, and Kōkiri Accelerator programme.  Participants will meet course facilitators, past alumni, participate in a mini validation workshop and have any questions answered by the Kōkiri team.  Session dates and details are available here.
