The ARCO team has been on an incredible roller coaster ride over the last couple of days with the inaugural Ākina Launchpad workshop. In a room full of 10 other incredible participant teams and their support teams we got to know each other, hear about the great social enterprises we will be surrounded by for the next 6 months and investigate our own business models. On top of the extreme brain power surge and making a bit of an emotional scene (two days running!), the ARCO story made it to live national television on Te Karere. We are so privileged to have an incredible support team to help us reach our goals and help us on our journey. Thank you to everyone for your support so far, in particular to the Ākina, KPMG and Contact crew. You're awesome! |
