Activator Session.
An initial conversation with COIN.
Let’s Chat.
A COIN South Activator Session is a 30-minute discussion where you have the chance to talk through your business, venture or idea and get focused feedback from the team at COIN South. It takes a little bit of bravery to share your idea with new people, but after just 30 minutes you’ll walk away with next steps and valuable advice.
How much does it cost?
Nothing but time.
The sessions are free, and all we ask is that you’re respectful of everyone’s time. Turn up early, ready to take notes, and you’ll get the most out of your 30 minutes.
What do I bring?
Big ideas. And an open mind.
The session is simply an informal chat, however you’re welcome to bring anything you need to explain your idea (notes, drawings, websites, photos, presentations, financials etc.) or just bring you. If you’ve completed your COIN Canvas, bring that along too.
What can I expect?
Real advice. Mahi Tahi. And the word ‘why?’
30 minutes with a mixed panel of experts listening and chatting through your idea. The COIN South team will always have a presence, but we may also ask a local accountant, lawyer or industry expert to join us. We know ideas can come from anywhere, so the goal is not to judge the merit of the idea, but to listen and provide connections and next steps for you.
We’ll ask you two main questions:
How did you arrive at this idea?
What’s stopping you from scaling quickly?
We’ll ask you a bunch of other questions too, like who your customers are, whether you have an accountant, how big you want to get. You can tell us as much or as little as you like within the 30 mins.
