Mahuki Showcase

Wow, these past four months have absolutely flown by.  We can't believe our time at Mahuki is nearly up.  

For those who don't know, Mahuki is Te Papa's accelerator programme, for the GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) sector.  We were honoured to have been selected to take part in the programme, allowing us a space to test and grow our ideas for Collaborate.  

Last night we presented our pitch about Collaborate, our dreams and goals, but also what we have achieved so far.  You can watch the whole pitch below:

Reflecting back on our time at Mahuki, there are so many things to be grateful for - the support from the Mahuki staff and Te Papa; the incredible mentors we had; and all of the expertise and insight we receive.  For us, one of the best things about the programme was being surrounded by all of the talented entrepreneurs.  The Mahuki teams are so driven and passionate about everything they do, we are so excited to see what amazing things they continue to achieve in the future.
