Founding Supporter Koha

A small ask from me as the founder

As a solo māmā of three, I’m building K’NEKT NZ while raising my 3 tamariki. I’ve taken this idea as far as I can with what I have, but even some of the basic costs involved in getting the first working version of K’NEKT up and running are currently out of my reach.

So, I’m reaching out to the businesses I hope to bring on this journey with me.

Would you consider supporting K’NEKT NZ with a koha/donation / crowdfunding from $50+  to help me get our MVP up and running?

In return for your support, I’d love to offer anyone who does koha:

Where Will Your Support Go?

Your support will help me cover the real costs involved in getting our MVP trial running, including:

Shopify + marketplace apps • supplier onboarding tools • product listing systems • email/software upgrades • verification processes • trademark/IP costs • website improvements • testing and development. 

This first version isn't supposed to be perfect.

The whole purpose of an MVP is to start small, test it with real businesses and shoppers, listen to feedback, learn what works and build from there.

By supporting the trial, you’re not just helping fund a website — you’re helping me prove whether K’NEKT can work and helping shape what it becomes.

A Little Important Stuff

This is a support/reward contribution towards the K’NEKT NZ MVP trial. It is not an investment and does not provide shares, ownership, equity or a financial return in K’NEKT NZ.

MVP participation and product listings remain subject to K’NEKT NZ’s normal supplier eligibility, product verification and marketplace requirements.

The MVP is a trial platform, so features, processes and functionality may change as we test, learn and improve the platform.

Most importantly — thank you. 💛

Whether you contribute $50 or $500+, you’re helping a small Kiwi start-up take its first real steps.

And one day, I hope we’ll be able to look back and say:

“You were there when K’NEKT started.”!
