We are interested in who you are, what you are working on or aspiring to in technology, and how you relate to being Māori. There is no single way to be connected to culture, so we invite you to share what that connection looks like for you, in your own words and from your own experience.

The questions are not about testing knowledge or identity. They help us understand the people joining the incubator, so we can create a space that feels grounded, supportive, and aligned with kaupapa Māori values. Take your time, be honest, and share what feels right for you.
