Māori founder circles

A space to collaborate and grow

If you would like to join our next Māori founder circle, let’s kōrero.
Schedule a 15 minute curiosity call to see if it’s for you.

Up to 8 places available in each circle.

Wherever you are in the world, I would love to hear from you.

Each circle brings together a small group of Māori business founders or owners, for 75 minutes weekly over the length of maramataka (the moon calendar), to create a meaningful space to connect, share, and grow.

Two Māori business founders will hold the virtual space, beginning with a karakia and check in followed by concepts inspired by a Māori world view that will support you in the business world. You will have opportunities to work collectively, 1:1, weaving your experiences, knowledge and wisdom into the wider circle.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We start every call with a karakia, short meditation and a check in.

    From there, you will collaborate with the group on one or two concepts inspired by a Māori worldview that will help you with your business. You will work collectively with an opportunity to also work 1:1 with a member of the group.

    There are four calls for each group across the maramataka (moon cycle) each building on the last and working towards the overall theme.

    All shares are confidential to protect the experiences, knowledge and wisdom of the group.

  • Wā, karakia (Māori incantation), and whakapapa (a sense of place in the world) shape how each session is held. A relational, cyclical worldview, rooted in place, learned over a lifetime.

  • This work is built around the particular weight of being the person a business ultimately answers to. That weight has a shape all too well known for anyone inside this world.

  • It keeps this work reachable across time zones and travel, and keeps a full season possible regardless of where you're based.
