Poutama is proud to support SheEO in its commitment to championing wāhine entrepreneurs across Aotearoa and the world.  Most recently, the latest cohort of wāhine entrepreneurs were announced as the successful 2021 SheEO Aotearoa New Zealand Ventures!

Poutama are especially excited to celebrate a couple of our Poutama wāhine Māori entrepreneurs – Reni Gargiulo, founder of Atutahi and Billie Jo Hohepa-Ropiha, founder of BDÉT who are two of the latest winners.

Of the current cohort, 60% are led by Activators, 40% are led by Māori and together they are working on 8 different UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Thanks to the Radical Generosity of SheEO New Zealand Activators, the 5 newly selected Ventures will now receive funding and support to help them grow their businesses and impact.

Engage, follow + congratulate the new Ventures and explore how they are working on the World’s To-Do List (UN Sustainable Development Goals – SDGs).
