Launching the Entrepreneur Academy!! - for entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs in all sectors.
Maybe you’re currently in a non-entrepreneurial business and are thinking it’s time to push the boundaries and get into high growth innovation and scale.
Or maybe you’re working a job and want to find out if you’ve got what it takes to launch into an entrepreneurial venture..
A five module series - the first two modules are free - led by entrepreneurs with an awesome balance of intensity, fun, learning, challenging, participating and problem solving. Facilitated discussions, interspersed with presentations from entrepreneurs from around the country to ‘ask them anything’.
The first two modules will help you decide whether you’ve got what it takes to be an entrepreneur and help you with looking at opportunities and innovations. If you want to go further, we’ll take you through three more modules covering the entrepreneurial process - to see if we can get a venture off the ground.
We won’t teach you basic business skills like marketing and accounting because there are other training providers available in the Greater Wellington Region for that stuff.

The Problem and the Solution
If you choose to go on to this module, we’ll use our extended and improved version of the La Salle Opportunity Matrix as a foundation to take you through a structured process of thinking about the customer problem and ways of innovatively solving it.
The first two modules do not require explicit payment although a koha contribution to costs is appreciated.
