Mātauranga Session: Growing a Pakihi with Tech

Kia ora koutou,

Te Hapori Matihiko is bringing pakihi Māori in Wellington together for a relaxed lunchtime Mātauranga Session, focused on practical tech whakaaro and case studies you can use for your business.

You'll hear from two of our hapori who have built their own tech businesses. They’ll share their story, the things they’ve learned, the tech they use and share their mātauranga on what’s worked for them. 

Ngā kaikōrero | Speakers
Diana Minnée, Founder & CEO of Ask Astro. Ask Astro is an AI-powered collaborative intelligence platform and shared workspace built for business teams, advisors, and small-to-medium businesses. It was recently used in a successful pilot of Te Aka AI with Te Matarau-ā-Māui.

Ira Bailey, Founder of Coshop NZ. Coshop is a community-powered software platform that connects local growers directly with neighbourhood food co-ops and consumers. Ira has also worked on a global project building Divine, a new take on social media platform Vine with a zero tolerance for AI slop.

Facilitated by Katie Brown, CE & Founder of Te Hapori Matihiko.
